Psalm 66: All lands to God in joyful sounds

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 26 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 66 First Line: All lands to God in joyful sounds Lyrics: 1All lands to God in joyful sounds, aloft your voices raise. 2Sing forth the honour of his name, and glorious make his praise. 3Say unto God, How terrible in all thy works art thou! Through thy great pow’r thy foes to thee shall be constrain’d to bow. 4All on the earth shall worship thee, they shall thy praise proclaim In songs: they shall sing cheerfully unto thy holy name. 5Come, and the works that God hath wrought with admiration see: In’s working to the sons of men most terrible is he. 6Into dry land the sea he turn’d, and they a passage had; Ev’n marching through the flood on foot, there we in him were glad. 7He ruleth ever by his pow’r; his eyes the nations see: O let not the rebellious ones lift up themselves on high. 8Ye people, bless our God; aloud the voice speak of his praise: 9Our soul in life who safe preserves, our foot from sliding stays. 10For thou didst prove and try us, Lord, as men do silver try; 11Brought’st us into the net, and mad’st bands on our loins to lie. 12Thou hast caus’d men ride o’er our heads; and though that we did pass Through fire and water, yet thou brought’st us to a wealthy place. 13I’ll bring burnt off ‘rings to thy house; to thee my vows I’ll pay, 14Which my lips utter’d, my mouth spake, when trouble on me lay. 15Burnt-sacrifices of fat rams with incense I will bring; Of bullocks and of goats I will present an offering. 16All that fear God, come, hear, I’ll tell what he did for my soul. 17I with my mouth unto him cry’d, my tongue did him extol. 18If in my heart I sin regard, the Lord me will not hear: 19But surely God me heard, and to my prayer’s voice gave ear. 20O let the Lord, our gracious God, for ever blessed be, Who turned not my pray’r from him, nor yet his grace from me.

Sing, all ye nations, to the Lord

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 50 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 66 Lyrics: Sing, all ye nations, to the Lord, Sing with a joyful noise; With melody of sound record His honors and your joys. Say to the Power that shakes the sky, "How terrible art thou! Sinners before thy presence fly, Or at thy feet they bow." [Come, see the wonders of our God, How glorious are his ways! In Moses' hand he puts his rod, And cleaves the frighted seas. He made the ebbing channel dry, While Isr'el passed the flood There did the church begin their joy, And triumph in their God.] He rules by his resistless might: Will rebel mortals dare Provoke th' Eternal to the fight, And tempt that dreadful war? O bless our God, and never cease; Ye saints, fulfil his praise; He keeps our life, maintains our peace, And guides our doubtful ways. Lord, thou hast proved our suff'ring souls, To make our graces shine; So silver bears the burning coals, The metal to refine. Through wat'ry deeps, and fiery ways, We march at thy command; Led to possess the promised place By thine unerring hand.

Now shall my solemn vows be paid

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 74 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 66:13-20 Lyrics: Now shall my solemn vows be paid To that Almighty Power, That heard the long requests I made In my distressful hour. My lips and cheerful heart prepare To make his mercies known; Come, ye that fear my God, and hear The wonders he has done. When on my head huge sorrows fell, I sought his heav'nly aid; He saved my sinking soul from hell, And death's eternal shade. If sin lay covered in my heart, While prayer employed my tongue, The Lord had shown me no regard, Nor I his praises sung. But God (his name be ever blest) Has set my spirit free; Nor turned from him my poor request, Nor turned his heart from me.

I love to tell the story, for some have never heard the message of salvation from God's own holy Word. Refrain 3 I love to tell the story, for those who know it best seem hungering and thirsting to hear it, like the rest.
