Glory in the Greatness


“Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and His greatness is unsearchable.  One generation shall praise Thy works to another… and I will declare Thy greatness” (Psalm 145:3-6).  “God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Galatians 6:14).  

How great is the Lord whom we praise,
Majestic in all of creation
With glory He greatly displays
In all of His work of salvation!    

Unsearchable greatness and favor
Are seen in the works of our Lord.
Consider the cross of our Savior
Where glory and grace are explored.

Let one generation declare
The works of our Lord to another.
There’s no other name to compare;
Salvation can come by no other.

Let all other glory be hid
But that of our Lord Jesus Christ
As we contemplate what He did
For us on the cross sacrificed!

O Lord, there is no one like You
With glory beyond comprehension! 
Our hearts are astonished anew;  
Your greatness commands our attention! 

O Lord, as we ponder Your cross,
The glory this world parades
Is quickly consumed, as is dross,
And all other greatness thus fades! 

Your glory, Lord, shined on Your path
Through all of Your days on this earth. 
Your greatness delivers from wrath
With grace that imparts the new birth.

Lord, help us to show to the lost
The glory that came from above,
The greatness of salvation’s cost,
And mercy we find in Your love.
