Come, Let Our Voices Join to Raise

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 96 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Come, let our voices join to raise A sacred song of solemn praise; God is a sovereign king; rehearse His honors in exalted verse. 2. Come let our souls address the Lord, Who framed our natures with His word; He is our shepherd; we the sheep His mercy chose, His pastures keep. 3. Come, let us hear His voice today, The counsels of His love obey; Nor let our hardened hearts renew The sins and plagues that Israel knew. 4. Israel, that saw His works of grace, Yet tempt their maker to His face; A faithless, unbelieving brood, That tired the patience of their God. 5. Thus saith the Lord: How false they prove Forget My power, abuse My love! Since they despise My rest, I swear, Their feet shall never enter there. 6. Look back, my soul, with holy dread, And view those ancient rebels dead; Attend the offered grace today, Nor lose the blessing by delay. 7. Seize the kind promise while it waits, And march to Sion’s heav’nly gates: Believe, and take the promised rest; Obey, and be for ever blessed.
