Let all the earth their voices raise
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #1 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Gentiles owning the true God; Conversion of Jews and Gentiles Lyrics:
Let all the earth their voices raise
To sing the choicest psalm of praise,
To sing and bless Jehovah's name:
His glory let the heathens know,
His wonders to the nations show,
And all his saving works proclaim.
The heathens know thy glory, Lord,
The wond'ring nations read thy word,
In Britain is Jehovah known:
Our worship shall no more be paid
To gods which mortal hands have made;
Our Maker is our God alone.
He framed the globe, he built the sky,
He made the shining worlds on high,
And reigns complete in glory there:
His beams are majesty and light;
His beauties, how divinely bright!
His temple, how divinely fair!
Come the great day, the glorious hour,
When earth shall feel his saving power,
And barb'rous nations fear his name;
Then shall the race of man confess
The beauty of his holiness,
And in his courts his grace proclaim.
Scripture: Psalm 96 Languages: English
Let all the earth their voices raise
Why did the nations join to stay
Hymnal: Doctor Watts's imitation of the Psalms of David, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (3rd ed.) #7 (1786) Topics: Gentiles given to Christ; Gentiles given to Christ Lyrics: 1 Why did the nations join to slay
The Lord’s anointed Son?
Why did they cast his laws away,
And tread his gospel down?
2 The lord that sits above the skies,
Derides their rage below,
He speaks with vengeance in his eyes,
And strikes their spirits through.
3 “I call him my eternal Son,
"And raise him from the dead;
"I make my holy hill his throne,
"And wide his kingdom spread.
4 "Ask me, my Son, and then enjoy
"The utmost heathen lands;
"Thy rod of iron shall destroy
"The rebel that withstands."
5 Be wise, ye rulers of the earth,
Obey th’ anointed Lord,
Adore the King of heavenly birth,
And tremble at his word.
6 With humble love address his throne,
For if he frown, ye die:
Those are secure, and those alone
Who on his grace rely. Languages: English

Hymnal: Doctor Watts's imitation of the Psalms of David, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (3rd ed.) #8 (1786) Topics: Gentiles given to Christ; Gentiles given to Christ First Line: Why did the Jews proclaim their rage? Lyrics: 1 Why did the Jews proclaim their rage?
The Romans, why their swords employ?
Against the Lord their powers engage,
His dear Anointed to destroy?
2 "Come, let us break his bands, they say,
"This man shall never give us laws;"
And thus they cast his yoke away,
And nail'd the Monarch to the cross.
3 But God, who high in glory reigns,
Laughs at their pride, their rage controuls;
He'll smite their hearts with inward pains,
And speak in thunder to their souls.
4 "I will maintain the King I made
"On Zion's everlasting hill,
"My hand shall bring him from the dead,
"And he shall stand your sovereign still.
5 [His wondrous rising from the earth
Makes his eternal Godhead known;
The Lord declares his heavenly birth:
"This day have I begot my Son.
6 "Ascend, my Son, to my right-hand,
"There thou shall ask, and I bestow
"The utmost bounds of heathen lands;
"To thee their suppliant tribes shall bow."]
7 But nations that resist his grace
Shall fall beneath his lifted rod;
His arm shall crush the impious race,
That dares provoke th' avenging God.
Pause.
8 Now ye that sit on earthly thrones,
Be wise, and serve the Lord, the Lamb:
Now to his feet submit your crowns,
Rejoice and tremble at his name.
9 With humble love address the Son,
Lest he grow angry, and ye die;
His wrath will burn to worlds unknown,
His love gives life above the sky.
10 His storms shall quell the stuborn foe,
And sink his honours in the dust:
Happy the souls, their God that know,
And make his grace their only trust. Scripture: Psalm 2 Languages: English

The Sufferings and Death of Christ
Hymnal: Doctor Watts's imitation of the Psalms of David, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (3rd ed.) #41 (1786) Topics: Gentiles given to Christ; Gentiles given to Christ First Line: Why has my God my soul forsook Lyrics: 1 Why has my God my soul forsook,
Nor will a smile afford?
(Thus David once in anguish spoke,
And thus our dying Lord.)
2 Though ’tis thy chief delight to dwell
Among thy praising saints,
Yet thou canst hear a groan as well,
And pity our complaints.
3 Our fathers trusted in thy name,
And great deliverance found:
But I’m a worm, despis'd of men,
And trodden to the ground.
4 With shaking head they pass me by,
And laugh my soul to scorn;
In vain he trusts in God, they cry,
Neglected and forlorn.
5 But thou art he, who form'd my flesh,
By thine Almighty word;
And since I hung upon the breast
My hope is in the Lord.
6 Why will my father hide his face
When foes stand threatening round
In the dark hour of deep distress,
And not an helper found?
Pause.
7 Behold thy darling left among
The cruel and the proud,
By foes encompass'd fierce and strong,
As lions roaring loud.
8 From earth and hell my sorrows meet,
To multiply the smart;
They nail my hands, they pierce my feet,
And try to vex my heart.
9 Yet if thy sovereign hand let loose
The rage of earth and hell,
Why will my heavenly Father bruise
The son he loves so well?
10 My God, if possible it be,
With-hold this bitter cup;
But I resign my will to thee,
And drink the sorrows up.
11 My heart dissolves with pangs unknown,
In groans I waste my breath;
Thy heavy hand has brought me down,
Low as the dust of death.
12 Father, I give my spirit up,
And trust it in thy hand;
My dying flesh shall rest in hope,
And rise at thy command. Scripture: Psalm 22:1-16 Languages: English
