1 Great is the Lord! 'tis good to praise
His high and holy name:
Well may the saints in latter days
His wondrous love proclaim.
2 To praise him let us all engage,
That unto us is giv'n:
To live in this momentous age,
And share the light of heav'n.
3 We'll praise him for our happy lot,
On this much favoured land -
Where truth and righteousness are taught,
By his divine command.
4 We'll praise him for more glorious things,
Than language can express,
The "everlasting gospel" brings,
The humble soul to bless.
5 The Comforter is sent again,
His pow'r the church attends -
And with the faithful will remain
Till Jesus Christ descends.
6 We'll praise him for a prophet's voice,
His people's steps to guide:
In this we do and will rejoice,
Tho' all the world deride.
7 Praise him, the time the chosen time,
To favour Zion's come:
And all the saints, from every clime,
Will soon be gathered home.
8 The opening seals announce the day,
By prophets long declared,
When all, in one triumphant lay,
Will join to praise the Lord.
