The LORD, the only GOD is great

Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 48 Lyrics: 1 The LORD, the only GOD is great, And therefore greatly to be prais'd; In Sion, on whose happy Mount His everlasting Throne is rais'd. For Sion is the chosen Place, Where he unveils his glorious Face. 2 Her Tow'rs, the Joy of all the Earth, In strong and beauteous Order rise; On her North Side th' Almighty King's Superb imperial City lies; Combining Pow'rs attempt in vain, Her massy Bulwarks to obtain. 3 God in her Palaces is known: His awful Presence is her Guard: Confed'rate Kings withdrew their Siege, And of Success at once despair'd. Nor could their Armies o'er prevail, Should they with all their Force assail. 4 They view'd her Walls, admit'd and fled, With Sorrow and Terror struck; Like Women, whom the sudden Pangs Of hasty Travail had o'ertook. Thou by the East Wind shalt destroy, The Ships that would her Forts annoy. 5 In Sion we have seen perform'd A Work that was to us foretold; In Pledge that GOD for Times to come, His Holy City will uphold: We on thy loving Kindness stay'd, Which in thy Temple is display'd. 6 According to thy Sov'reign Name, Thy Praise. O LORD! thro' Earth extends; Thy pow'rful Arm, as Justice guides, Chastises Mankind or defends: Thy Hand, almighty Pow'r shall show, And Men thy Righteousness shall know. 7 Let Sion's Mount with Joy resound, And let her Daughters all be taught, In Songs his Judgments to extoll, Who this great Deliv'rance wrought, Your Eyes around her Bulwarks cast, And see if any Stone's displac'd. 8 Count all her Tow'rs, her Forts survey Observe their Strength and Order well, That with Assurance to your Heirs, This Wonder you may justly tell; This GOD, while we in him confide; Thro' Life, till Death, shall be our Guide.

Great is the Lord; most worthy he of praise

Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 48 Lyrics: 1 Great is the Lord; most worthy he of praise; Sing, sing his glory in melodious lays, Ye sons of Sion, where's the blest abode, The radiant habitation of our God. 2 Of Sion's hill most beauteous is the site, Sion, the nation's joy, the earth's delight: Full to the north the king's bright mansions lie, And with resplendent beauty strike the eye. 3 There Israel's race have oft beheld the Lord Maintain their cause, and pow'rful help afford. 4 With mad'ning rage the furious monarchs came, With fierce intent t' enwrap our walls in flame; 5 They view'd with wonder, trembled with dismay, And, struck with terror, hast'ned quick away; 6 Not greater terror strikes the matron's heart, When of approaching throes she dreads the smart; 7 Not greater fears the heartless crew assail, When o'er the stout-ribb'd ship the waves prevail. 8 As to their sons our fathers oft have told Thy glorious deeds, thy miracles of old; So in the city of our God we've view'd, The same bright scheme of wonders still pursued; Still shall our progeny on thee rely, Thou'lt still relieve, when in distress they cry. 9 Thy gracious mercies, Lord, we'll ne'er forget, But 'fore thy altar gratefully repeat; 10 Thy praise, thy justice, glorious as thy name, To earth's extremest bounds will we proclaim; 11 Yes; Sion's hill to all the realms around, Thy great, thy righteous judgments, shall resound; The sons of Salem, and her virgin train, To endless time renew the grateful strain. 12 Walk round, ye faithful tribes; her walls explore; Her strong, her lofty turrets, number o'er; 13 Observe her forts, her palaces, with care, And to your sons her wond'rous strength declare; 14 That they may know, how mighty is the Lord, What aids he'll to his chosen race afford; How he'll support them ever with his pow'r: And, knowing, praise his name, till time's no more.
