[Come, sound his name abroad]
1.
Come, sound his name 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.
4.
To-day attend his voice,Nor dare provoke his rod;
Come, like the people of his choice,
And own your gracious God.
5.
But if your ears refuseThe language of his grace,
And hearts grow hard like stubborn Jews,
That unbelieving race;
5.
The Lord, in vengeance drest,Will lift his hand and swear,
“You that despise my promised rest
Shall have no portion there.”
