HOW great and glorious is the place

Bulwarks of mighty grace defend The city where we dwell, Its wall, of strong salvation made, Defy the powers of hell.

Lift up the everlasting gates, The doors wide open fling; Enter, the people who obey The statutes of our King.

Here shall you taste unmingled joys, And dwell in perfect peace, For you have known Jehovah’s name, And trusted in His grace.

Trust in the Lord, for ever trust, And banish all your fears; Strength in the Lord Jehovah dwells, Eternal as His years.
