482. Psalm 48

1 Great is the Lord our God,
And let his praise be great;
He makes his churches his abode,
His most delightful seat.

2 In Zion God is known,--
A refuge in distress;
How bright has his salvation shone,
Through all her palaces!

3 Oft have our fathers told,
Our eyes have often seen,
How well our God secures the fold,
Where his own sheep have been.

4 In every new distress,
We'll to his house repair;
We'll think upon his wondrous grace,
And seek deliverance there.
