XCV. Come let our Voices join to raise

1 Come, let our Voices join to raise,
A sacred Song of solemn Praise;
God is a sov'reign King; rehearse
His Honours in exalted Verse.
2 Come, let our Souls address the Lord,
Who fram'd our Natures with his Word;
He is our Shepherd; we the Sheep
His Mercy chose, his Pastures keep.

3 Come, let us hear his Voice to-day,
The Counsels of his Love obey;
Nor let our hardned Hearts renew
The Sins and Plagues that Isr'el knew.
4 Isr'el, that saw his Works of Grace
Yet tempt their Maker to his Face;
A faithless unbelieving Brood,
That tir'd the Patience of their God.

5 Thus saith the Lord, "How false they prove!
"Forget my Pow'r, abuse my Love;
"Since they despise my Rest, I swear,
"Their Feet shall never enter there."
6 Look back, my Soul, with holy dread,
And view those ancient Rebels dead;
Attend the offer'd Grace to Day,
Nor lose the Blessing by Delay.
7 Seize the kind Promise while it waits,
And march to Zion's heav'nly Gates;
Believe, and take the promis'd Rest;
Obey, and be for ever blest.
