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.) #151 (1786) First Line: Sing to the Lord aloud Lyrics: 1 Sing to the Lord aloud,
And make a joyful noise;
God is our strength, our Saviour God;
Let Israel hear his voice.
2 “From idols false and vain,
"Preserve my rites divine;
"I am the Lord who broke thy chain
"Of slavery and of sin.
3 "Stretch thy desires abroad,
"And I’ll supply them well;
"But if ye will refuse your God,
"If Israel will rebel:
4 I’ll leave them, saith the Lord,
"To their own lusts a prey,
"And let them run the dangerous road,
"’Tis their own chosen way.
5 "Yet oh! that all my saints
"Would hearken to my voice!
"Soon I would ease their sore complaints,
"And bid their hearts rejoice.
6 "While I destroy their foes,
"I’ll richly feed my flock,
"And they shall taste the stream that flows
"From their eternal rock."
