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.
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 have just finished my morning devotional and this song came to memory which I had learned in Sunday school some 40 years ago.

Just read Lamentations 2:15 and was reminded of this song, couldn’t remember all the lyrics so came here to find it. We sang “beautiful in situation” which can mean placement I think? I love how God has brought so many of us here, all in different ways and through different scriptures.

I was reading my bible came across Ps 48 and then the song came to me from when I was younger - I sang as a child and made up words so decided to come find the proper lyrics :)

Was just reading Psalm 48 and noticed verses 1 and 2 were lyrics of a popular song. I had to look for the lyrics online to see if we sang the wrong version (beautiful for all situation) of the song or that is what everyone sings.

It's 4am in the morning, just studying my bible psalm 147 : 5. Great is the Lord ........... and boom the song came, brings so much peace and a re assurance of God's presence always with me. Hallelujah!

It was so encouraging to read so many sweet words about how people sang this song 30, 40, 50 years ago. Now they are still lifted up by the words and their memories.

This tune would come to me briefly all morning, but I would only begin and not be able to get the full thing as it's been years since I sang it. It came to me again, and I just had to search it up, and I'm glad to see the full chorus! I'm grateful to Him for leading me here. To anyone reading this, Jesus loves you, and it is truly the best thing to have a Father like God, so turn to him as fast as you can! He is patiently waiting 😊
