1 Sing to the Lord, who loud proclaims
His various, and his saving names.
O may they not be heard alone,
But by our sure experience known.
2 Awake, our noblest pow'rs, to bless
The God of Abreham, the God of Peace;
Now by a dearer title known,
Father and God of Christ his Son.
3 Through ev'ry age his gracious ear
Is open to his servants' pray'r;
Nor can one humble soul complain,
That it hath sought its God in vain.
4 What unbelieving heart shall dare,
In whispers to suggest a fear?
While still he owns his ancient name,
The same his pow'r, his love the same?
5 To thee our souls in faith arise,
To thee we lift expecting eyes;
And boldly through the desert tread;
For God will guard, where God shall lead.
