Sing to the Lord Jehovah's name

by Isaac Watts·1719·Meter 8.6.8.6 (CM)

Based on Ps 95

1

Sing to the Lord Jehovah's name,
And in his strength rejoice;
When his salvation is our theme,
Exalted be our voice.

2

With thanks approach his awful sight,
And psalms of honor sing;
The Lord's a God of boundless might,
The whole creation's King.

3

Let princes hear, let angels know,
How mean their natures seem,
Those gods on high and gods below,
When once compared with him.

4

Earth, with its caverns dark and deep,
Lies in his spacious hand;
He fixed the seas what bounds to keep,
And where the hills must stand.

5

Come, and with humble souls adore,
Come, kneel before his face
O may the creatures of his power
Be children of his grace!

6

Now is the time; he bends his ear,
And waits for your request;
Come, lest he rouse his wrath and swear,
"Ye shall not see my rest."
