Great is the Lord, the ruler in heaven
And on earth the Master of life and death,

Tell the tale of his wonders.

Robed is the Lord with glory.
In him are power, strength and majesty.
The world he made shall never move.
Firm stood his throne from all ages.
Is he not God everlastingly?
More glorious than the surging sea,
Greater than torrents of water,
The Lord now reigns glorious in the heights.
The Lord's decrees will never change.
Worthy of trust his instructions.
His house is holy till the end of time.

Holy God of light.

To be at your right hand for ever
For me would be happiness always.

When the world was yet to be.
From the dawn of time uncounted
I have sung God's melody.

I am Wisdom, his companion,
Ever at his side to be;
I delight in his creating,
Never ending, ever free.
Every sea and every river,
I have seen them come to birth;
For the hills and for the mountains
Seen Him raise the virgin earth.
There were stars hung in the heavens,
And the clouds were in his plan:
But the time I'll ever cherish,
Was the day He formed a man.
Never has He ceased creating
And I'm with Him to this day;
So I'm glad to see his image
In the people of today.

For love of your name.

We sing the glory, we sing the praises of your love.
Your Kingdom for ever shall endure.
