Great is the Lord

Author: Eliza R. Snow Appears in 18 hymnals 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. Used With Tune: [Great is the Lord! 'tis good to praise]
