Great Is Our Redeeming Lord

lyricist: Charles Wesley (1707–1788)
Composer: William Arnold (1768–1832)

Great is our re­deem­ing Lord

In

pow­er

and truth

and grace;

Him

by high­est heav­en ad­ored

His Church on earth doth praise:

In the ci­ty of our God

In His ho­ly mount be­low

Publish

spread His name abroad

And all His great­ness show.

For Thy lov­ing kind­ness

Lord

We in Thy tem­ple stay;

Here Thy faith­ful love re­cord

Thy sav­ing pow­er dis­play:

With Thy name Thy praise is known

Glorious Thy per­fect­ions shine;

Earth’s re­mot­est bounds shall own

Thy works are all di­vine.

See the Gos­pel Church se­cure

And found­ed on a rock;

All her pro­mis­es are sure;

Her bul­warks who can shock?

Count! her ev­ery pre­cious shrine;

Tell

to af­ter ag­es tell

Fortified by pow­er di­vine

The church can nev­er fail.

Zion’s God is all our own

Who on His love re­ly;

We His par­don­ing love have known

And live to Christ and die:

To the new Je­ru­sa­lem

He our faith­ful guide shall be;

Him we claim

and rest in Him

Through all eter­ni­ty.
