1 Sing, all ye nations to the Lord,
Sing with a joyful noise;
With melody of sound record
His honours and your joys.
2 Say to the power that form'd the sky,
"How terrible art thou!
"Sinners before thy presence fly,
"Or at thy feet they bow."
3 [Come see the wonders of our God,
How glorious are his ways?
In Moses hand he puts his rod?
And clave the frighted seas.
4 He made the ebbing channel dry,
While Israel pass'd the flood;
There did the church begin their joy,
And triumph in their God.]
5 He rules by his resistless might:
Will rebel mortals dare
Provoke th’ Eternal to the fight,
And tempt that dreadful war.
6 Oh bless our God, and never cease;
Ye saints, fulfil his praise;
He keeps our life, maintains our peace,
And guides our doubtful ways.
7 Lord, thou hast prov'd our suffering souls,
To make our graces shine;
So silver bears the burning coals,
The metal to refine.
8 Thro' watery deeps, and fiery ways
We march at thy command,
Led to possess the promis'd place
By thine unerring hand.
