Great God! Attend, while Zion sings
The joy that from Thy presence springs;
To spend one day with Thee on earth
|: Exceeds a thousand days of mirth. :|
Might I enjoy the meanest place
Within Thy house, O God of grace,
Not tents of ease, nor thrones of power,
|: Should tempt my feet to leave Thy door. :|
God is our Sun, He makes our day;
God is our Shield; He guards our way
From all the assaults of hell and sin,
|: From foes without, from foes within. :|
All needful grace will God bestow,
And crown that grace with glory too!
He gives us all things, and withholds
|: No real good from upright souls. :|
O God, our King, Whose sovereign sway
The glorious hosts of heaven obey,
And devils at Thy presence flee,
|: Blest is the man that trusts in Thee. :|
---Alternative verses---
O God, our King, Whose sovereign sway
The glorious hosts of heaven obey,
Display thy grace exert thy power,
|: Till all on earth thy name adore. :|
