Dr. Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David ‎#204

204. Come, sound his praise abroad

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.'
