Great and Marvelous

Representative Text

1 Let the heav’ns declare His unchanging care,
And the firmament His glory;
While the fleeting days shall proclaim His praise,
The King who is throned on high;
The King enthroned on high.

Refrain:
Great and marvellous, great and marvellous,
Great and marvellous, are Thy works,
Thy works, great and marvellous, great and marvellous,
Lord God Almighty just and true are Thy ways, are Thy ways,
O King of saints!
Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord, the King of saints!

2 From the mountains height, from the vales so bright,
From the hills in vernal splendor;
There’s a joyous song that is borne along,
To Him who is throned on high;
The King enthroned on high. [Refrain]

3 When the storm-winds sweep o’er the restless deep,
And the billows dark are tossing;
They repeat His praise, and their voice they raise,
To Him who is throned on high;
The King enthroned on high. [Refrain]
