Great God, Attend While Zion Sings (Choir)
1. Great God, attend while Zion singsThe joy that from thy presence springs.To spend one day with thee on earthExceeds a thousand days of mirth.
2. Might I enjoy the meanest placeWithin thy house, O God of grace.Not tents of ease nor thrones of powerShould tempt my feet to leave thy door.
3. God is our sun; he makes our day.God is our shield; He guards our wayFrom all assaults of hell and sin,From foes without and fears within.
4. All needful grace will God bestowAnd crown that grace with glory too;He gives us all things and withholdsNo blessings due to upright souls.
5. Our God, our King whose sovereign swayThe glorious hosts of heaven obey,(And devils at thy presence flee)Blest is the man that trusts in thee!
