And ye who tread this earthly ball;

In holy songs rejoice aloud before him,

And shout his praise who made you all.

2 The Lord is great; his majesty how glorious!

Resound his praise from shore to shore;

O’er sin, and death, and hell, now made victorious,

He rules and reigns for evermore.

3 The Lord is great; his mercy how abounding!

Ye angels, strike your golden chords;

O praise our God, with voice and harp resounding,
