Psalm 48:1-2
“Great is the LORD,
and greatly to be praised in the city of our God,
in the mountain of His holiness.
Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth,
is mount Zion, on the sides of the north,
the city of the great King.”
Great is our God!
Truly, our God is greater than our earthly minds can imagine. I think of the prophet in Isaiah 6 who saw God and responded in awe of His glory.
This is a fantastic song that ascribes glory to our God. I’m appreciative that it is directly quoted from Scripture.
(This link is provided to give you an idea of the song. The tune is modified slightly, and we sing it with the words “beautiful for situation” instead of “beautiful in elevation.”)
The sheet music is transcribed from recollection from those who taught it to me many years ago. You will love this song!
