('Now is eternal life')
Psalm 48 v.1-3 and v.8-14
********
Great is the Lord, and He
Greatly to be praised be
In His own city, in
Jerusalem therein
It built upon Mount Zion strong
His mount of holiness, raise song
It beautifully places
Situated and graced
Teh joy of the whole earth
Mount Zion of great worth
It the city of the great King
Our God, let praises to Him ring
For He is known there for
A refuge safe, 'tis sure
Her palaces here bright
There dwells the Lord of light
His special place, though everywhere
By His Spirit He does dwell fair
As we have heard, so we
Now with our eyes do see
The city of the Lord
Is true unto His word
He will establish it for e'er
For it His residency there
We have thought of your love
And kindness, Spirit, dove
In midst of your temple
O God, we on you call
As is your name, so is your praise
To ends of earth, to endless days
For righteous you be, let
Mount Zion rejoice yet
Let those therein be glad
Not e'er oppressed or sad
Because your judgements, justice you
Work from there, they for ever true
Walk about Zion, go
Roundabout her and know
Her towers, bulwarks, they
Provide defence alway
And tell too of her palaces
To future people, good is this
For this God is our God
Round His mount, temple trod
We, and entered therein
To praises fresh begin
He will be our guide unto death
E'en beyond final earthly breath
