Come, Sound His Praise

Representative Text

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 Today attend His voice,
Nor dare provoke His rod:
Come, like the people of His choice,
And own your gracious God.

AMEN.
