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 shakes 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 cleaves 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 O 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.
