1 Great is the Lord our God,
And let His praise be great;

His most delightful seat.
And let His praise be great;
He makes the Church His own abode,
His most delightful seat.
2 In Zion God is known,
A refuge in distress;
How bright has His salvation shone
Through all her palaces.
A refuge in distress;
How bright has His salvation shone
Through all her palaces.
3 Oft have our fathers told,
Our eyes have often seen,
How well our God secures the fold,
Where His own sheep have been.
Our eyes have often seen,
How well our God secures the fold,
Where His own sheep have been.
