Come, sound his praise abroad

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 685 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, sound his praise abroad, And hymns of glory sing; Jehovah is the sov'reign God, The universal King. 2 He form'd the deeps unknown; He gave the seas their bound; The wat'ry 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 form'd us by his word. 6 To-day attend his voice, Nor dare provoke his rod; Come, like the people of his choice, And own your gracious God. 7 But if your ears refuse The language of his grace, And hearts grow hard, like stubborn Jews, That unbelieving race; 8 The Lord, in vengeance drest, Will lift his hand and swear, 'You that despise my promis'd rest 'Shall have no portion there.' Scripture: Psalm 95

Come, let our voices join to raise

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 95 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, let our voices join to raise A sacred song of solemn praise: God is a sov'reign King, rehearse His honor in exalted verse. 2 Come, let our souls address the Lord, Who fram'd our natures with his word: He is our shepherd; we the sheep His mercy chose, his pastures keep. 3 Come, let us hear his voice to-day, The counsels of his love obey; Nor let our harden'd hearts renew The sins and plagues that Isr'el knew. 4 Isr'el, that saw his works of grace, Yet tempt their Maker to his face; A faithless, unbelieving brood, That tir'd the patience of their God. 5 Thus saith the Lord, 'How false they prove! 'Forget my pow'r, abuse my love: 'Since they despise my rest, I swear, 'Their feet shall never enter there.' 6 [Look back, my soul, with holy dread, And view those ancient rebels dead; Attend the offer'd grace to-day, Nor loose the blessing by delay. 7 Seize the kind promise while it waits, And march to Zion's heav'nly gates: Believe, and take the promis'd rest; Obey, and be for ever blest. Scripture: Psalm 95:1-3
