233b. Let's join, and Hallelujah sing

1. Let's join, and Hallelujah sing;
Praise ye Jehovah's Name;
O all ye Servants of the Lord,
His glorious Praise proclaim.
2. Who, in the House of God attend,
Or in his Court Yards meet;
3. Praise ye the Lord, for it is good.
To praise his Name is sweet.

4. Because Jehovah Jacob chose,
His own by special Grace;
For his peculiar Treasure took,
Isr'el, and all his Race.
5. The Lord is great; our God is high
Above all Gods we own.
6. Who,what he pleas'd in Heav'n, and Earth,
In Seas, and Depths, hath done.

7. He makes the Vapours to ascend,
From Earth, in Clouds combin'd;
He bringeth Lightening, with the Rain,
From unknown Stores the Wind.

Second Part

8. Egypt's First-born, of Man, and Beast,
He smote, thro' all their Coast.
9. His dreadful Signs and Wonders, sent
On Pharaoh and his Host.
10. lHe many Nations, mighty Kings,
Did, by his Pow'r, subdue.
11. He, Sihon, King of th' Amorites,
And 0g, of Bashan, slew:

He Canaan's num'rous Kingdoms smote,
And freed from Tyrants Hands.
12. An Heritage, to Isr'el's Tribes,
He gave their fertile Lands.
13. Thy Name, O Lord, by thy great Acts,
Shall be forever known;
And we'll transmit thy Name, and Praise,
To future Ages down.

14. The Lord, his People's Cause, will judge.
Who now oppressed mourn;
Will, for his Servants Sake, repent,
And from his Anger turn.

Third Part

15. The many Idol Gods ador'd.
By all the Heathen Bands,
Are Gold, and Silver, shining Dust;
The Labour of Men's Hands.
16. Their Mouths no Pow'r of Speech retain,
And sightless are their Eyes.
17 Their Ears are deaf; no vital Breath
Their Mouth, or Breast, supplies.

18. All those that make such Idols vain,
And Homage to them pay;
Who put their Trust in them for Help,
As senseless are as they.
9. O House of Isr'el, bless the Lord;
O A'ron's, praise his Name.
20. The Lord, O House of Levi, bless;
Ye Just, his Praise proclaim.

21. O let Jehovah blessed be,
From Sion, with Accord,
Who dwelleth in Jerusalem,
Sing Praises to the Lord.
