Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised

Yes, thank you, Lawrence, for the correct Bible words - beautiful for situation ...

I am in a prayer meeting and the lady who wanted to give us exaltation quoted psalm 48 verses 1-8 and I found that verse 1 and 2 are the lyrics of the song I always loved singing then I decided to get the correct lyrics.

I'll use it for my worship all through this week.

PRAISE GOD ALLELUIA!

The words are "beautiful for situation" NOT "beautiful in elevation"

I'm so glad to get the lyrics of this song. I enjoyed the song as a kid but never knew the lyrics to well. Psalm 48 led me to search for how to sing this soul refreshing song ..... God is too beautiful and mysterious in His ways. God bless the hands that complied this piece.

Yeah Our God is Beautiful beyond description, and too GREAT for words to express. He is too Marvelous for comprehension. We only Know him in part..

Hallelujah.... we are complete in Him. He is the 'I AM', ALL KNOWING. Who can fathom His greatness. His words is YEA which means let it be according to His commands!!! Only God's counsel shall stand.

Praise to the Most High....

Great, I had forgotten the lyrics of this song and came across it here.

Nice work to preserve our old songs.

Too many new songs these days that I can't relate to, the old ones convey the message poignantly.

Beautiful music to praise our great God. I feel like not switching off from the music. it lifts my soul.

I remember singing this song when I was a kid. But I could not remember all the words. It is a joyous little song that gives praise to God.

Scott you are correct the wording in the third line is "Beautiful for situation the joy of the whole earth"

Thanks for this great site.

Acclaim God.... This melody dependably heartens my heart... It raises my soul..

Great indeed is the Lord!... Psalm 48:1-2. This song always gladdens my heart. We serve a living God.
