Heaven's Foretaste
Great is the LORD and greatly to be praised; His greatness is unsearchable.
Mercy is not getting what we deserve.Grace is getting what we don't deserve
Ps.47:7-8Sing praises to God, sing praises!Sing praises to our King, sing praises!7 For God is the King of all the earth;Sing praises with understanding.8 God reigns over the nations;God sits on His holy throne.
Sing praises, for God reignsWith love in rich supplyWhen we withhold worship's refrainsGrace and mercy reply
Sing praises with souls awedIn every care unfurledGreater is our glorious GodThan troubles of this world
Sing praises to the ONEWho WAS, IS and Will BEWhose unsearchable riches stunHuman philosophy
Sing praises to the LordIn joy or sorrow’s leaseThe wondrous riches of His wordBestow gladness and peace
Clap your hands, shout for joyOur King none can dethroneNor earthly enemy destroySalvation’s Cornerstone
Sing praise without reserveFor we have been blood-boughtMercy restrains what we deserveGrace grants what we do not
Let endless praises spillTo God, whose SovereigntyAnd unsearchable riches willUnfold eternity/eternally
Praise God with ransomed mirthAnd humble gratitude Let Heaven's foretaste fill the earth With rapturous prelude
