Poor Bishop Hooper
Psalm 48
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised
In the city of the Lord, His holy mountain
Beautiful in height, the joy of all the earth
Zion, Mount Zion
[Verse 2]
The city of the King, Jerusalem revealing
God has made Himself its very stronghold
Each king upon the earth, assembled still to see
Zion, Mount Zion
[Verse 3]
When their eyes beheld, terror rose and fell
They stood amazed, they writhed, they made and fled
Like a woman's labor pain and ships scattered by the wind
Zion, Mount Zion
Zion, Mount Zion
[Bridge]
We had heard of the city's glory
But now we've seen it for ourselves
The city of all Heaven's armies
That stands forever safe
We have thought on Your lovingkindness
As we worship in Your place
As Your name deserves, O God
You will be praised
Your strong right hand is righteous
Let the people now be glad
Because of Your great justice
Let Judah's daughters dance
[Outro]
Go walk about Zion, consider every wall
That you may tell those who will come after
For such is the One who guides us until death
God, forever and ever
God, forever and ever
God, forever and ever
