Representative Text

1 Great is the Lord, the Prince of life and glory,--
Great is the Lord, and wonderful his name;
Shout, shout again the soul redeeming story,
Mercy for all through him proclaim.

Chorus:
Great is the Lord, great is the Lord,
Hail him, hail him, sound his name afar;
He is the light that shineth in the darkness,
He is the Bright and Morning Star.

2 Great was the love that from his throne of splendor
Brought him to earth for sinful man to die;
Oh, for a gift amazing and so tender
Glory to God, to God on high. [Chorus]

3 Great is the Lord, the hope of our salvation,--
Strong is the tower whereon the faithful stand;
Oh, clap your hands with holy exultation,
Come with a song at his command. [Chorus]

4 Wake, ev'ry heart; let ev'ry voice adore him;
Now let the world with hallelujahs ring;
Sceptres and crowns in dust shall fall before him,
Jesus alone shall reign our King. [Chorus]
