Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised

1
Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised,
  In the city of our God,
  In the mountain of His holiness.
Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth,
  Is Mount Zion, on the sides of the north,
    The city of the great King.
  Is Mount Zion, on the sides of the north,
    The city of the great King.

I love singing scripture. In that day there will be a New Jerusalem, the place God will rule His Kingdom. It will be a spiritual city the place God has chosen. The practicable church’s expressed on the earth today in cities should be a miniature of that heavenly city. It is wonderful to think of His ruling over the whole earth. What a wonderful city that will be.

I discovered that we should enjoy the hymns by exercising our spirit to sing them with our whole being

Your lyric is incorrect. The actual lyric is a direct quote from the King James Version, Psalm 48:1-2. "Beautiful for situation"

This is an awesome song, directly from & word for word out of the KJV: Psalms 48:1-2. The word of God is the only truth in this perverse society in which we’re living. Praise God!
