"I will publish the name of the Lord: ascribe ye greatness unto our God. He is the Rock; His work is perfect: for all His ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is He.... Do ye thus requite the Lord, O foolish people and unwise? Is not He thy Father that bought thee? Hath He not made thee, and established thee? Then Jeshurun (lit., the upright, referring to Israel)... forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation" (Deuteronomy 3,4,15).
Greatness to our God belongs.
Publish and ascribe His fame!
Sing it with majestic songs
The Rock of Ages is His name.
A God of truth and grace is He,
Established on His throne above.
A God without iniquity
Just and right with perfect love.
Shall we requite our loving Lord,
As foolish people so unwise,
With light esteem, and not afford
Him greatness in our blinded eyes?
God forbid that it should be!
Let us thus establish here
From henceforth through eternity:
He's our Lord, our Life, our Fear.
