Great is the Lord our God,
And let His praise be great;
He makes His churches His abode,
His most delightful seat.

In Zion God is known,
A refuge in distress;
How bright has His salvation shown
Thru all her palaces.

When kings against her joined;
And saw the Lord was there;
In wild confusion of the mind,
They fled with hasty fear.

Oft have our fathers told,
Our eyes have often seen;
How well our God secures the fold
Where His own sheep have been.

In ev'ry new distress,
We'll to His house repair;
We'll call to mind His wondrous grace,
And seek deliv'rance there.
