Sing to the Lord our Might

Henry Francis Lyte • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 81

Verse 1

Sing to the Lord, our Might, With holy fervor sing; Let hearts and instruments unite To praise our heavenly King.

Verse 2

This is his sacred house; And this his festal day, When he accepts the humblest vows That we sincerely pay.

Verse 3

The Sabbath to our sires In mercy first was given; The Church her Sabbath still requires To speed her on to heaven.

And we, like them of old, Are in the wilderness; And God is now as near his fold To pity and to bless.

Then let us open wide Our hearts for him to fill; And he that Israel then supplied, Will kept his Israel still.
