Psalm 95:1. C. M. A psalm before prayer.

← The Psalms of David Imitated in the Language of the New Testament and Applied to the Christian State and Worship

1 Sing to the Lord Jehovah's Name, And in his strength rejoice; When his salvation is our theme, Exalted be our voice.

2 With thanks approach his awful sight, And psalms of honour sing; The Lord's a God of boundless might, The whole creation's King.

3 Let princes hear, let angels know, How mean their natures seem, Those gods on high, and gods below, When once compar'd with him.

4 Earth with its caverns dark and deep Lies in his spacious hand, He fix'd the seas what bounds to keep, And where the hills must stand.

5 Come, and with humble souls adore, Come, kneel before his face; O may the creatures of his power Be children of his grace!

6 Now is the time: he bends his ear, And waits for your request; Come, lest he rouse his wrath and swear "Ye shall not see my rest."
