¶Lyrics / Text

1. Great Jehovah, God of glory, Lord of Lords, almighty King, Angels vel their faces 'fore thee, Worlds on worlds thy praises sing While cherub hosts around thee stand And join the song, a heavenly band. 2. Loud through the skies thy thunders roll, Lightnings swift speed they orders bear Thy will made known form pole to pole. Through space immense, through thankless sin, Heaven and earth obey thy nod, Display thy power, proclaim thee God. 3. Great is thy matchless power divine, Omnipresent heavenly King, Mortals would fain with angels join To adore thy name, hosannas ring. Hosannas to thy name we raise, Mighty Lord, accept our praise. ::– ''Benjamin Carr, 1803''
