Sing to the Lord Aloud

Melody -

Isaac Watts, 1674-1748

Sing to the Lord aloud,
And make a joyful noise;
God is our strength, our Savior God;
Let Isr'el hear his voice.

2. From vile idolatry
Preserve my worship clean;
I am the Lord, who set thee free
From slavery and sin.

3. Stretch thy desires abroad,
And I'll supply them well:
But if ye will refuse your God,
If Isr'el will rebel;

4. I'll leave them, saith the Lord,
To their own lusts a prey,
And let them run the dang'rous road,
'Tis their own chosen way.

5. Yet, O! that all my saints
Would hearken to my voice!
Soon I would ease their sore complaints,
And bid their hearts rejoice.

6. While I destroy their foes,
I'd richly feed my flock;
And they should taste the stream that flows
From their eternal rock.
