Now Let Our Voices Join

lyricist: Philip Doddridge (1702–1751)
Composer: Jonathan Woodman, 1844

Now let our voic­es join

To form one plea­sant song

Ye pil­grims in Je­ho­vah’s ways

With mu­sic pass along.

How straight the path ap­pears

How op­en

and how fair!

No lurk­ing sins t’en­trap our feet

No fierce de­stroy­er there.

But flow­ers of para­dise

In rich pro­fu­sion spring;

The Sun of Glo­ry gilds the path

And dear com­pan­ions sing.

See Sa­lem’s gold­en spires

In beau­te­ous pros­pect rise;

And bright­er crowns than mor­tals wear

Which spar­kle through the skies.

All hon­or to His name

Who drew the shin­ing trace

To Him

who leads the wan­der­ers on

And cheers them with His grace.

Reduce the na­tions

Lord

Teach all their kings Thy ways

That earth’s full choir the notes may swell

And Heav’n re­sound the praise.
