1 GREAT is our redeeming Lord In power, and truth, and grace; Him, by highest heaven adored, His church on earth should praise: In the city of our God, In His holy mount below, Publish, spread His praise abroad, And all His greatness show. 2 Built by His almighty hands, The towers of Salem rise; Fair and firm the city stands, Contiguous to the skies; Joy to all the earth she brings, Stored with blessings from above; Kept by the great King of kings, Her guardian God of love! 3 Monarchs
