Great God! Attend While Zion Sings

Great God! At­tend

while Zi­on sings

The joy that from Thy pre­sence springs:

To spend one day with Thee on earth

Exceeds a thou­sand days of mirth

Exceeds a thou­sand days of mirth.

Might I en­joy the mean­est place

Within Thy house

O God of grace

Nor tents of ease

nor thrones of pow­er

Should tempt my feet to leave Thy door

Should tempt my feet to leave Thy door.

God is our sun

He makes our day;

God is our shield; He guards our way

From all the as­saults of hell and sin

From all th’as­saults of hell and sin

From all th’as­saults of hell and sin.

All need­ful grace will God be­stow

And crown that grace with glo­ry

too:

He gives us all things

and with­holds

No real good from up­right souls

No real good from up­right souls.

O God

our king

whose sov­er­eign sway

The glor­ious hosts of Heav’n ob­ey

And de­vils at Thy pre­sence flee

Blest is the man that trusts in Thee

Blest is the man that trusts in Thee.
