Tune:SILVER STREET
Composer:Isaac Smith, 1735 (?)-1800

19. Come, sound His praise abroad

1. Come, sound His praise abroad,
And hymns of glory sing;
Jehovah is the sovereign God,
The universal King.

2. He formed the deeps unknown;
He gave the seas their bound;
The watery worlds are all His own,
And all the solid ground.

3. Come, worship at His throne;
Come, bow before the Lord;
We are His works, and not our own;
He formed us by His word.

4. To-day attend His voice,
Nor dare provoke His rod;
Come, as the people of His choice,
And own your gracious God.
