Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church #243 (1917) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church Lyrics: 1 Great is the Lord our God,
And let His praise be great;
He makes His churches His abode,
His most delightful seat.
2 These temples of His grace,
How beautiful they stand!
The honors of our native place,
And bulwarks of our land.
3 In Zion God is known,
A refuge in distress;
How bright has His salvation shone
Through all her palaces!
4 Oft have our fathers told,
Our eyes have often seen,
How well our God secures the fold,
Where His own sheep have been.
5 In every new distress
We’ll to His house repair,
We’ll think upon His wondrous grace,
And seek deliverance there.
Amen. Topics: The Church The Sanctuary Languages: English Tune Title: DURHAM
