Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David, corrected and enlarged, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (2nd ed.) #177a (1786) First Line: Sing to the Lord, Jehovah's name Lyrics: 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 honour 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 compar'd with him.
4 Earth, with its caverns dark and deep,
Lies in his spacious hand;
He fix'd the seas what bounds to keep,
And where the hills must stand.
5 Come, and with humble souls adore,
Come, kneel before his face;
Oh 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 rouze his wrath and swear,
"Ye shall not see my rest." Topics: Delaying Sinners warned; Devotion daily; Psalm before prayer; Psalm before sermon; Unbelief punished; Delaying Sinners warned; Devotion daily; Psalm before prayer; Psalm before sermon; Unbelief punished Scripture: Psalm 95 Languages: English
