Psalm 48 Part 1
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 301 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 48:1-8 First Line: Great is the Lord our God Lyrics:
[Great is the Lord our God,
And let his praise be great;
He makes his churches his abode,
His most delightful seat.
These temples of his grace,
How beautiful they stand!
The honors of our native place,
And bulwarks of our land.]
In Zion God is known,
A refuge in distress;
How bright has his salvation shone
Through all her palaces!
When kings against her joined,
And saw the Lord was there,
In wild confusion of the mind
They fled with hasty fear.
When navies tall and proud
Attempt to spoil our peace,
He sends his tempests roaring loud,
And sinks them in the seas.
Oft have our fathers told,
Our eyes have often seen,
How well our God secures the fold
Where his own sheep have been.
In every new distress
We'll to his house repair;
We'll think upon his wondrous grace,
And seek deliv'rance there.

pilgrim through this barren land;
I am weak, but you are mighty;
hold me with your powerful hand.
Bread of heaven, bread of heaven,
feed me now and evermore,
feed me now and evermore.
2 Open now the crystal fountain,
where the healing waters flow.
Let the fire and cloudy pillar
lead me all my journey through.
Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer,
ever be my strength and shield,
ever be my strength and shield.
3 When I tread the verge of Jordan,
bid my anxious fears subside.
Death of death, and hell's Destruction,
land me safe on Canaan's side.
Songs of praises, songs of praises
I will ever sing to you,
I will ever sing to you.

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 187 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 48:10-14 First Line: Far as thy name is known Lyrics:
Far as thy name is known,
The world declares thy praise;
Thy saints, O Lord, before thy throne,
Their songs of honor raise.
With joy let Judah stand
On Zion's chosen hill,
Proclaim the wonders of thy hand,
And counsels of thy will.
Let strangers walk around
The city where we dwell,
Compass and view thine holy ground,
And mark the building well;
The orders of thy house,
The worship of thy court,
The cheerful songs, the solemn vows,
And make a fair report.
How decent and how wise!
How glorious to behold!
Beyond the pomp that charms the eyes,
And rites adorned with gold.
The God we worship now
Will guide us till we die,
Will be our God while here below,
And ours above the sky.

Zion, city of our God;
He whose word cannot be broken
Formed you for His own abode.
On the Rock of Ages founded,
What can shake your sure repose?
With salvation's walls surrounded,
You may smile at all your foes.
2 See, the streams of living waters,
Springing from eternal love,
Well supply your sons and daughters
And all fear of want remove.
Who can faint while such a river
Ever will their thirst assuage?
Grace, which like the Lord, the giver,
Never fails from age to age.
3 Round each habitation hov'ring,
See the cloud and fire appear
For a glory and a cov'ring,
Showing that the Lord is near.
Thus deriving from their banner
Light by night and shade by day,
Safe they feed upon the manna
Which God gives them on their way.
4 Savior, since of Zion's city
I through grace a member am,
Let the world deride or pity,
I will glory in Your name.
Fading are the world's vain pleasures,
All their boasted pomp and show;
Solid joys and lasting treasures
None but Zion's children know.

Psalm 48: Great is the Lord, and greatly he
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 12 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 48 First Line: Great is the Lord, and greatly he Lyrics:
1Great is the Lord, and greatly he
is to be praised still,
Within the city of our God,
upon his holy hill.
2Mount Sion stands most beautiful,
the joy of all the land;
The city of the mighty King
on her north side doth stand.
3The Lord within her palaces
is for a refuge known.
4For, lo, the kings that gather’d were
together, by have gone.
5But when they did behold the same,
they, wond’ring, would not stay;
But, being troubled at the sight,
they thence did haste away.
6Great terror there took hold on them;
they were possess’d with fear;
Their grief came like a woman’s pain,
when she a child doth bear.
7Thou Tarshish ships with east wind break’st:
8As we have heard it told,
So, in the city of the Lord,
our eyes did it behold;
In our God’s city, which his hand
for ever stablish will.
9We of thy loving-kindness thought,
Lord, in thy temple still.
10O Lord, according to thy name,
through all the earth’s thy praise;
And thy right hand, O Lord, is full
of righteousness always.
11Because thy judgments are made known,
let Sion mount rejoice;
Of Judah let the daughters all
send forth a cheerful voice.
12Walk about Sion, and go round;
the high tow’rs thereof tell:
13Consider ye her palaces,
and mark her bulwarks well;
That ye may tell posterity.
14For this God doth abide
Our God for evermore; he will
ev’n unto death us guide.

nor wander from the pathway
if thou wilt be my guide.

My foes are ever near me,
around me and within;
but, Jesus, draw thou nearer
and shield my soul from sin.
3 O let me hear thee speaking
in accents clear and still,
above the storms of passion,
the murmurs of self-will;
O speak to reassure me,
to hasten or control;
O speak, and make me listen,
thou guardian of my soul.
4 O Jesus, thou hast promised
to all who follow thee
that where thou art in glory
there shall thy servant be.
And, Jesus, I have promised
to serve thee to the end;

The Lord, the only God, is great
Appears in 21 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 48 Lyrics: 1 The Lord, the only God, is great,
and greatly to be prais'd
In Sion, on whose happy Mount
his sacred Throne is rais'd.
2 Her Tow'rs, the Joy of all the Earth
with beauteous Prospect rise;
On her North-Side th' Almighty King's
Imperial City lies.
3 God in her Palaces is known:
His Presence is her guard:
4 Confed'rate Kings withdrew their Siege,
and of Success despair'd.
5 They view'd her Walls, admir'd, and fled,
with Grief and Terror struck;
6 Like Women whom the sudden Pangs
of Travail had o'ertook.
7 No wretched Crew of Mariners
appear like them forlorn,
When Fleets from Tarshish' wealthy Coasts
by Eastern Winds are torn.
8 In Sion we have seen perform'd
a Work that was foretold,
In Pledge that God, for Times to come,
His City will uphold.
9 Not in our Fortresses and Walls
did we, O God, confide;
But on the Temple fix'd our Hopes,
in which thou dost reside.
10 According to thy Sov'reign Name,
thy Praise thro' Earth extends;
Thy pow'rful Arm, as Justice guides,
chastises, or defends.
11 Let Sion's Mount with Joy resound,
her Daughters all be taught,
In Songs his Judgments to extol,
who this Deliv'rance wrought.
12 Compass her Walls in solemn Pomp;
your Eyes quite round her cast;
Count all her Tow'rs, and see if there
you find one Stone displac'd.
13 Her Forts and Palaces survey;
observe their Order well;
That, with Assurance, to your Heirs
this Wonder you may tell.
14 This God is ours, and will be ours,
whilst we in Him confide;
Who, as He has preserv'd us now,
till Death will be our Guide.

Author: J. H. Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 48 First Line: Great is the Lord, & with great praise Lyrics: 1 Great is the Lord & with great praise
to be advanced still:
Within the City of our God,
upon his holy hill.
2 Mount Sion is a pleasant place,
it gladdeth all the land:
The City of the mighty King
on her north side doth stand:
3 Within the pallaces thereof,
God is a refuge known:
For lo the kings are gathered, and
together they are gone.
4 But when they did behold it so,
they wondred, and they were
Astonished much, and suddenly
were driven back with feare.
5 Great terror there on them did fall,
for very wo they cry,
As doth a woman when she shall
go travell by and by
6 As thou with Eastern winds the ships
upon tile sea dost break,
They were stroid, and even as
we heard oar fathers speak.
7 So in the City of the Lord,
we saw as it was told:
Yea in the City which our God
for ever will uphold.
8 O Lord, we wait and do attend
on thy good help and grace:
For which we do all times attend
within thy holy place.
9 O Lord according to thy Name
for ever is thy praise,
And thy right hand O Lord is full
of righteousness alwaies.
10 Let for thy judgments Sion Mount
fulfilled be with joyes:
And eke of Judah grant O Lord,
the daughters to rejoyce.
11 Go walk about all Sion hill,
yea round about her go:
And tell the towers that thereupon
are builded on a row.
12 And mark ye well her bulwarks all,
behold her towers there:
That ye may tell thereof to them,
that after shall be here.
13 For this most mighty God, our God
for evermore is he:
Yea and unto death also
our guider shall he be.

the darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide:
when other helpers fail, and comforts flee,
help of the helpless, O abide with me.
2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;
earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away;
change and decay in all around I see;
O thou who changest not, abide with me.
3 I need thy presence every passing hour;
what but thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who like thyself my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.
4 I fear no foe with thee at hand to bless;
ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if thou abide with me.
5 Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes;
shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies:
heav'n's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee;
in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. Topics: Evening; Hope and Consolation; Protection Used With Tune: EVENTIDE
