Lyrics:
Great is Jehovah! Let all creation bow before Him;
Great is Jehovah! Believe Him, worship and adore Him;
Nations, rejoice with heart and voice,
For He is King alone,
And we His scepter own.
He holdeth in His hands
The moon and stars, the worlds of His creation;
Wise are His just commands;
The winds are hushed, the waves fulfill His righteous law,
And at his will
The sea is still;
The mountains before Him fall,
The desert sands become a habitation;
Worlds tremble at His call,
The sun He guides,
The moon He hides,
And day from night divides.
Great The King of kings, the everlasting God of love:
Mighty is His hand!
His wisdom who can understand?
Yet, in His mercy is a wideness as the sea,
And in His love the measure of eternity;
Holy is His name!
Let men with angels now proclaim,
Hosanna to the King!
Let all in nature sing,
Hosanna unto the King!
