Come, let our voices join to raise

Representative Text

1 Come, let our voices join to raise
A sacred song of solemn praise;
God is a sovereign King; rehearse
His honor in exalted verse.

2 Come, let our souls address the Lord,
Who framed our nature by His word.
He is our Shepherd we the sheep
His mercy chose, His pastures keep.

3 Come, let us turn with holy fear
To Him who now invites us near;
Accept the offered grace today,
Nor lose the blessing by delay.

4 Come, seize the promise while it waits,
And march to Zion’s heavenly gates;
Believe, and take the promised rest;
Obey and be forever blest.

Amen.

Come, let our voices join to raise. I. Watts. [Psalms xcv.] His L.M. version of the 95th Psalms, given in his Psalms of David, &c, 1719, in 7 stanzas of 4 lines, and headed, "Canaan lost thro’ Unbelief; or, a "Warning to delaying Sinners." Its use in Great Britain is limited. In America it is found in a large number of hymnals. Sometimes, as in the Church Pastorals, Boston, 1864, it begins with stanza ii., "Come, let our souls address the Lord."
