Great is the Lord our God
And greatly to be praised
Upon a hill God's city stands
In glorious beauty raised
His holy mountain high
The city of our King
The joy of all the earth below
In praise of God we sing

God makes His city strong
By living in her halls
When kings join forces and advance
They marvel at her walls
God scatters those around
Whose pride makes them so sure
As we have heard so have we seen
God's city is secure

Within your temple Lord
In your most holy place
We on your loving kindness dwell
The wonders of your grace
Your people sing your praise
Where'er your name is known
By every deed your hand has done
Your righteousness is shown

Let Zion now rejoice
And all her people sing
Let them with thankfulness proclaim
The judgments of their King
Mount Zion's walls behold
About her ramparts go
And number all the lofty towers
That guard her from the foe

Observe her palaces
Mark her defenses well
That to the children following you
Her glories you may tell
For God as our own God
Forever will abide
And till life's journey close in death
Will be our faithful guide
