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.

This memory of singing this song back in the seventies and eighties when I committed my life to Christ came back to me this morning as I am reading and pondering Ezekiel Chapters 40 and 41, a description of the Temple. Jesus tells us HE went away to prepare our mansion in glory. How great is our GOD!!!

This song is making me to enter into the realm of the spirit, and to know that the Lord is the great God that is also doing great things.

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.
