Author: Eliza R. Snow Hymnal: Latter-Day Saints Congregational Hymns #2 (1919) First Line: Great is the Lord! 'tis good to praise Lyrics: 1. Great is the Lord! ’tis good to praise
His high and holy name:
Well may the Saints in latter days
His wondrous love proclaim!
To praise him let us all engage,
For unto us is giv’n
To live in this momentous age
And share the light of heav’n.
2. We'll praise Him for our happy lot
On this much-favored land,
Where truth and righteousness are taught
By His divine command.
We'll praise Him for more glorious things
Than language can express;
The "Everlasting Gospel" brings
The humble soul to bliss.
3. The Comforter is sent again;
His pow’r the Church attends,
And with the faithful will remain
Till Jesus Christ descends.
We'll praise Him for a Prophet's voice,
His people's steps to guide;
In this we do and will rejoice,
Though all the world deride.
4. Praise Him! the time, the chosen time
To favor Zion's come;
And all the Saints from ev'ry clime
Will soon be gathered home.
The op'ning seals announce the day,
By prophets long declared,
When all, in one triumphant lay,
Will join to praise the Lord. Languages: English Tune Title: [Great is the Lord! 'tis good to praise]
