The Lord is great; and greatly ought
His name to be adored;
He rises o’er mortal thought
The dread Eternal Lord.
The Lord is good; his acts of grace
Beyond our wishes rise;
His anger moves with slowest pace,
His willing mercy flies.
How holy is the Lord, how just!
How righteous all his ways!
How nigh to him whose humble trust
For heavenly succour prays!
His steadfast throne, from changes free,
Shall stand forever fast;
And they that serve him here shall see
His glorious heaven at last.
