1
Lord, with devotion we pray; 
now look thou upon us with love. 
While we adore thee and honor thy name, 
grant us thy smiles from above. 

                                                            Refrain:
                                                            Oh, great is the Lord! Thy name shall endure! 
                                                            Let heaven and earth, oh, let all sing thy praise! 
                                                            Oh, great is the Lord! Thy name shall endure! 
                                                            for thou art the joy of my days! 

2
Let all that seek thee rejoice - 
oh, let them be glad in the Lord. 
Let such as love thy salvation sing praise - 
thou hast the fallen restored!
                                                            (Refrain)

3
Thou art my hope, O my God; 
yea, thou art my trust from my youth. 
Thou art my refuge, my fortress, my rock - 
Lord, thou art wisdom and truth!
                                                            (Refrain)
