LyicsThe Lord is great! ye hosts of heaven, adore him,
And ye who tread this earthly ball;
In holy songs rejoice aloud before him,
And shout his praise who made you all.
The Lord is great; his majesty how glorious!
Resound his praise from shore to shore;
O'er sin, and earth, and hell, now made victorious,
He rules and reigns for evermore.
The Lord is great; his mercy how abounding!
Ye angels, strike your golden chords;
O praise our God, with voice and harp resounding,
The King of kings and Lord of lords.
