1. The Lord is great; with worthy praise
Proclaim His power, His Name confess,
Within the city of our God,
Upon His mount of
holiness.
|
2. Mount
Zion, glorious and
fair,
Gives joy to people in all lands;
The city of the mighty King
In majesty securely stands.
|
3. Within her dwellings for defense
Our God has made His presence known,
And hostile kings, in sudden fear,
Have fled as ships by tempests blown.
|
4. With our own eyes we have beheld
What oft our fathers told before,
That God Who in
His Zion dwells
Will keep her
safely evermore.
