Sing to the Lord aloud

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 48 hymnals Topics: Promises and threatenings; Threatenings and promises Lyrics: Sing to the Lord aloud, And make a joyful noise; God is our strength, our Savior God; Let Isr'el hear his voice. "From vile idolatry Preserve my worship clean; I am the Lord, who set thee free From slavery and sin. "Stretch thy desires abroad, And I'll supply them well: But if ye will refuse your God, If Isr'el will rebel; "I'll leave them," saith the Lord, "To their own lusts a prey, And let them run the dang'rous road, 'Tis their own chosen way. "Yet, O! that all my saints Would hearken to my voice! Soon I would ease their sore complaints, And bid their hearts rejoice.

Are not thy servants day by day Sent to their graves and turn'd to clay? Lord, where's thy kindness to the just? 3 Hast thou not promis'd to thy son And all his seed a heavenly crown? But flesh and sense indulge dispair; Forever blessed be the Lord, That faith can read his holy word, And find a resurrection there. 4 Forever blessed be the Lord, Who gives his saints a long reward, For all their toil, reproach and pain; Let all below, and all above, Join to proclaim thy wondrous love, And each repeat their loud Amen. Scripture: Psalm 89:47-52
