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 favored 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 souls 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 favor Zion’s come:
And all the Saints, from ev’ry clime,
Will soon be gather’d home.
8
The op’ning seals announce the day,
By prophets long declar’d;
When all, in one triumphant lay,
Will join to praise the Lord.
