Great Is The Lord, Exalted High




"For I know that the Lord is great and that our Lord is above all gods.
Whatever the Lord pleases, that has He done in the heavens,
and on the earth, in the seas and all deeps-

Who causes the vapors to arise from the ends of the earth,
Who makes lightning for the rain, Who brings the wind
out of His storehouses..."
Psalm 135:5-7




I Shall Not Want
Yongsung Kim
Korean artist


Great is the Lord, exalted high

Above all powers and every throne:

Whate'er He please, in earth or sea,

Or Heav'n or hell, His hand hath done.


At His command the vapors rise,

The lightnings flash, the thunders roar:

He pours the rain, He brings the wind,

And tempest from His airy store.


'Twas He those dreadful tokens sent,

O Egypt, thro' thy stubborn land,

When all thy first born, beasts and men,

Fell dead by His avenging hand.


What mighty nations, mighty kings

He slew, and their whole country gave

To Israel, whom His hand redeemed,

No more to be proud Pharaoh's slave!


His power the same, the same His grace,

That saves us from the hosts of hell;

And Heav'n He gives us to possess,

Whence those apostate angels fell.
