Sing to the Lord, who loud proclaims

Philip Doddridge • English

Primary Scripture: Exodus 34:5-7

Verse 1

Sing to the Lord, who loud proclaims His various, and his saving names; O may they not be heard alone, But by our sure experience known!

Verse 2

Let great Jehovah be adored, Th' eternal, all-sufficient Lord; He through the world most high confessed, By whom 'twas formed and is possessed.

Verse 3

Awake, our noblest powers, to bless The God of Abreham, God of Peace; Now by a dearer title known, Father and God of Christ his Son.

Verse 4

Through every age his gracious ear Is open to his servants' prayer; Nor can one humble soul complain, That it hath sought its God in vain.

Verse 5

What unbelieving heart shall dare, In whispers to suggest a fear? While still he owns his ancient name, The same his power, his love the same.

Verse 6

To thee our souls in faith arise, To thee we lift expecting eyes; And boldly through the desert tread, For God will guard, where God shall lead.
