Alternate Tune:
If you know where to get a good picture of Wrangham (head & shoulders, at least 200×300 pixels),
To God our voices let us raise,
And loudly chant the joyful strain;
That rock of strength oh let us praise!
Whence free salvation we obtain.
The Lord is great, with glory crowned,
O’er all the gods of earth He reigns;
His hand supports the deeps profound,
His power alone the hills sustains.
Let all who now His goodness feel,
Come near and worship at His throne
Before the Lord, their maker, kneel,
And bow in adoration down.
