How wondrous are Your ways
You reign victorious
Lifted high upon our praise

The praises of Your people
God with us You are called Emmanuel

And a very present help
In a time of trouble
You’re great You’re glorious
How excellent Your name
You reign victorious

You’re great and greatly to be praised (4X)
You’re great You’re glorious
How excellent Your name
You reign victorious
Lifted high upon our praise
