Hymns

Come, sound his praise abroad

by Isaac Watts·1719·Meter 6.6.8.6 (SM)

Based on Ps 95

1

Come, sound his praise abroad,
And hymns of glory sing;
Jehovah is the sovereign God,
The universal King.

2

He formed the deeps unknown;
He gave the seas their bound;
The wat'ry worlds are all his own,
And all the solid ground.

3

Come, worship at his throne;
Come, bow before the Lord:
We are his works, and not our own;
He formed us by his word.

4

Today attend his voice,
Nor dare provoke his rod;
Come, like the people of his choice,
And own your gracious God.

5

But if your ears refuse
The language of his grace,
And hearts grow hard, like stubborn Jews,
That unbelieving race;

6

The Lord, in vengeance dressed,
Will lift his hand and swear,
"You that despise my promised rest
Shall have no portion there."
