God and His Church; or, Grace and Glory

Verse 1

Great God, attend, while Zion sings the joy that from your presence springs; to spend one day with you on earth exceeds a thousand days of mirth.

Verse 2

You are our sun, you bless our day; and you our shield, to guard our way from all assaults of hell and sin, from foes without, from foes within.

Verse 3

All needful grace will you bestow, and crown that grace with glory too; you give us all things, and withhold no heavenly good from upright souls.

Verse 4

O God our King, whose sovereign sway the glorious hosts of heaven obey; all thrones and kingdoms are your own! Let praise and joy now fill our song.
