The Lord, the only God, is great, And greatly to be praised (Tate and Brady)

Verse 1

The Lord, the only God, is great, And greatly to be praised In Sion, on whose happy mount His sacred throne is raised.

Verse 2

In Sion we have seen perform'd A work that was foretold, In pledge that God, for times to come, His city will uphold.

Verse 3

Let Sion's mount with joy resound; Her daughters all be taught In songs His judgments to extol, Who this deliverance wrought.

Verse 4

Compass her walls in solemn pomp, Your eyes quite round her cast; Count all her towers, and see if there You find one stone displaced.

Verse 5

Her forts and palaces survey, Observe their order well, That to the ages yet to come His wonders you may tell.

Verse 6

This God is ours, and will be ours, Whilst we in Him confide; Who, as he has preserved us now, Till death will be our Guide.
