The Greatness of God

Isaac Watts • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 34:2

Verse 1

Long as I live, I'll bless your name, My King, my God of love; My work and joy shall be the same In the bright world above. Great is the Lord, his pow'r unknown, And let his praise be great; I'll sing the honors of your throne, Your works of grace repeat.

Verse 2

Your grace shall dwell upon my tongue, And while my lips rejoice, The souls who hear my sacred song Shall join their cheerful voice. Fathers to sons shall teach your name, And children learn your ways; Ages to come your truth proclaim, And nations sound your praise.

Verse 3

Your glorious deeds of ancient date Shall thru' the world be known; Your arm of pow'r, your heav'nly state, With public splendor shown. The world is managed by your hands, Your saints are ruled by love, And your eternal kingdom stands, Tho' rocks and hills remove.
