E44. Come, Sound His Praise Abroad

1 Come, sound His praise abroad,
And hymns of glory sing;
Jehovah is the Sov'reign God,
The universal King.

2 He formed the deeps unknown;
He gave the seas their bound;
The wat'ry worlds are all His own,
And all the solid ground.

3 Come, worship at His throne;
Come, bow before the Lord;
We are His work, and not our own:
He formed us by His Word.

4 Today attend His voice,
Nor dare provoke His rod;
Come, like the people of His choice,
And own your gracious God.
