Sing to the Lord Aloud

Sing to the Lord aloud

And make a joy­ful noise;

God is our strength

our Sav­ior God;

Let Is­ra­el hear His voice.

“From vile id­ol­atry

Preserve My wor­ship clean;

I am the Lord

who set thee free

From sla­ve­ry and sin.

“Stretch thy de­sires abroad

And I’ll sup­ply them well:

But if ye will re­fuse your God

If Is­ra­el will re­bel;

I’ll leave them

saith the Lord

“To their own lusts a prey

And let them run the dan­ger­ous road

’Tis their own chos­en way.

“Yet O! that all My saints

Would heark­en to My voice!

Soon I would ease their sore com­plaints

And bid their hearts re­joice.

While I de­stroy their foes

I’d rich­ly feed my flock;

And they should taste the stream that flows

From their eter­nal rock.
