Hymn 71
How great is God Almighty and how worthy to be
Psalm 48
Verse 1
How great is God Almighty and how worthy to be
praised,
For the city of our holy God shall make the world
amazed;
His mountain ever beautiful before our vision
raised,
The joy of all the earth.
Verse 2
Glory be to God the Father,
Glory be to God the Saviour,
Glory to the Holy Spirit
Forever three in one.
In Zion city God Himself will be our sure defence,
All the kings of earth who ever reigned are stripped
of vain pretence;
They see His throne in glory and in fear they
scatter thence,
The power of all the earth!
Verse 3
Like eastward wind your mighty arm will sweep
Your foes away,
We have seen fulfilled in Zion all the truth of what
you say;
We think of your eternal love and sing now every
day,
The praise of all the earth!
Verse 4
The day shall come at last when every wrong is
turned to right,
We shall see in Zion’s citadel the ending of the
night;
In every generation men are passing on the light,
The God of all the earth!
