Lyics

THE 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 death, and hell, now made victorious,

He rules and reigns forevermore.



The Lord is great-his mercy how abounding!

Ye angels, strike your golden chords!

Oh praise our God! with voice and harp resounding,

The King of kings, and Lord of lords!
