The nations round Thy form shall view, With luster new Divinely crowned. 3 In honor to His Name Reflect that sacred light, And loud that grace proclaim Which makes thy darkness bright. Pursue His praise, Till sovereign Love In worlds above Thy glory raise. 4 There, on His holy hill, A brighter Sun shall rise, And with His radiance fill Those fairer, purer skies; While round His throne, Ten thousand stars In nobler spheres His influence own.

Great is the Lord our God

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 303 hymnals Topics: Church Foundation of Lyrics: 1 Great is the Lord our God, And let His praise be great; He makes the Church His own abode, His most delightful seat, His most delightful seat. 2 In Zion God is known, A refuge in distress; How bright has His salvation shone Through all her palaces! Through all her palaces! 3 When kings against her joined, And saw the Lord was there, In wild confusion of the mind, They fled with hasty fear, They fled with hasty fear. 4 Oft have our fathers told, Our eyes have often seen, How well our God secures the fold Where His own sheep have been, Where His own sheep have been. 5 In every new distress We'll to His house repair; We'll call to mind His wondrous grace, And seek deliverance there, And seek deliverance there. Amen. Used With Tune: LUTHER

Though earthquake shocks are threatening her, And tempests are abroad; 4 Unshaken as eternal hills, Immovable she stands, A mountain that shall fill the earth, A house not made by hands. Amen.
