Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #280 (1899) Hymnal Title: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes Lyrics: 1 Great is the Lord our God,
And let His praise be great;
He makes the Church His own abode,
His most delightful seat,
His most delightful seat.
2 In Zion God is known,
A refuge in distress;
How bright has His salvation shone
Through all her palaces!
Through all her palaces!
3 When kings against her joined,
And saw the Lord was there,
In wild confusion of the mind,
They fled with hasty fear,
They fled with hasty fear.
4 Oft have our fathers told,
Our eyes have often seen,
How well our God secures the fold
Where His own sheep have been,
Where His own sheep have been.
5 In every new distress
We'll to His house repair;
We'll call to mind His wondrous grace,
And seek deliverance there,
And seek deliverance there.
Amen. Topics: Church Beauty and Glory of; Church Communion of Saints; Church Foundation of; Church Love for; Church nature of; Church Security of; Love to the Church; Reformation Festival Languages: English Tune Title: LUTHER
