Lyrics

Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised
In the city of our God.
His holy mountain, beautiful in elevation,
Is the joy of all the earth,
Mount Zion, in the far north,
The city of the great King.

Within its citadels God has shown himself a sure defence.
Then kings assembled to attack, and they came on together.
As soon as they saw the walls, they were astounded in panic,
They took to flight and then trembling took hold of them there,

As with pains like a woman in labour,
as when east winds shatter the ships of Tarshish.
As we have heard, so have we seen
In the citadel of the Lord of hosts.

Selah Rest and think about that

Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised
In the city of our God.
His holy mountain, beautiful in elevation,
Is the joy of all the earth,
Mount Zion, in the far north,
The city of the great King.

We ponder your steadfast love, O God, in the midst of your temple.
Your name, O God, like your praise, reaches to the ends of the earth.
Your right hand is filled with victory. Let Mount Zion be glad,
Let towns of Judah rejoice because of your judgements Lord.

Walk about Zion, go all around it,
Count its towers,consider its ramparts;
And tell the next generation that our will be our guide for ever.

Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised
In the city of our God.
His holy mountain, beautiful in elevation,
Is the joy of all the earth,
Mount Zion, in the far north,
The city of the great King.

Mount Zion, in the far north,
The city of the great King.
