Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised,
In the city of our God,
In the mountain of His holiness.
Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth,
Is Mount Zion, on the sides of the north,
The city of the great King.
Is Mount Zion, on the sides of the north,
The city of the great King.
In the city of our God,
In the mountain of His holiness.
Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth,
Is Mount Zion, on the sides of the north,
The city of the great King.
Is Mount Zion, on the sides of the north,
The city of the great King.

I am to deliver a talk in chapel this morning. The Lord woke me up past 2 am. As I was writing songs to talk about, I dosed off and woke up singing this one 'Great is the Lord. Psalm 48:1-2. I browse to know more, and I found this site. Great is the Lord...'It's one of the most popular worship song in Nigeria! Others include; there is none Holy as the Lord... By Hanna 1 Sam 2:2, Thou art worthy O Lord Rev. 4:11...by 24 elders, Be blessed as you praise Him today!

I had a dream and saw the mighty house of God being constructed in the dream. The house was so great and beautiful that I started singing this song. I had to wake up to see if I can get the song and the place it is in the Bible so that I can always read it to remember this dream. God is great.

I learnt this song from my Parents while growing up in Northern Nigeria. My Dad really loves this song and the picture of my Dad singing this song during Family devotions keeps coming to mind as I sing this song. #GreatIsTheLord

Praise God that this hymn writer understands the importance of Zion to God, the center of the earth, the pinnacle of His kingdom to come here. The city of the only true King, Jesus.
