Great and Glorious is the Name of the Lord by Clarence Dickinson — Lyrics
Great and glorious is the name of the Lord of Hosts!
Sing praises unto the Lord,
Oh, ye peoples,
For God is the King of all the earth.
Sing, ye praises with understanding.
God reigneth over the nations
God sitteth upon His holy throne
Sing ye praises unto the Lord!
Great and glorious is the name of the Lord of Hosts!
The Lord reigneth, He is clothed in majesty,

About Great and Glorious is the Name of the Lord
Suitable for a grand occasion or a festival service, Clarence Dickinson's anthem Great and Glorious is the Name of the Lord sets a powerful biblical text expressing God's majesty and sovereignty. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonies, creating a majestic sound befitting the words. The anthem proclaims the Lord as King of all nations, clothed in strength and majesty, and established on His holy throne. It culminates in a profound prayer, drawing on the familiar words from "O God, Our Help in Ages Past", beseeching God's protection through life and His provision as an eternal home. This setting offers a truly uplifting and inspiring experience for choir and congregation alike.
