LyicsGREAT is the Lord our God,
And let his praise be great;
He makes his churches his abode,
His most delightful seat.
These temples of his grace,
How beautiful they stand-
The honors of our native place,
The bulwarks of our land!
In Zion God is known
A refuge in distress;
How bright has his salvation shone
Through all her palaces!
In every new distress
We'll to his house repair;
We'll think upon his wondrous grace,
And seek deliverance there.
