Let Us Sing, for We have Reason

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 113 Lyrics: 1 Let us sing, for we have reason; Let us join with those above; Praise is never out of season; Let us praise the God of love; We have cause, indeed, to sing, Jesus is our glorious King. 2 When we reach the full enjoyment Of the state where sorrows end; Praise will be our sweet employment, We shall praise the sinner’s friend; Him who washed us with His blood, Saved, and brought us nigh to God. 3 But how diff’rent then our praises From the thanks we render now! Well our coldness may amaze us, When we think how much we owe; But no coldness will remain When that glorious state we gain. 4 Yet our Lord accepts our praises, Offered while we sojourn here; He on whom th’archangel gazes With delight and holy fear, Hears His people when they sing, And accepts the praise they bring.

With God the Lord who can compare, Whose dwellings in the heavens are, Of such great power and force is he. 6 He doth abase himselfe (we know) Things to behold both here below, And also in the heaven above: 7 The needy out of dust to draw, And eke the poore which help none saw; His mercy only did him move. 8 And so him set in high egree, With Princes of great dignity, That rule his people with great fame. 9 The barren he doth make to beare, And with great joy her fruit to reare, Therefore praise ye his holy Name.
