9447. To God Our Voices Let Us Raise

1 To God our voices let us raise,
And loudly chant the joyful strain;
That rock of strength oh let us praise!
Whence free salvation we obtain.

2 The Lord is great, with glory crowned,
O’er all the gods of earth He reigns;
His hand supports the deeps profound,
His power alone the hills sustains.

3 Let all who now His goodness feel,
Come near and worship at His throne
Before the Lord, their maker, kneel,
And bow in adoration down.
