Hymn 63 Sing Songs of Praise to Him!
Verse 1 Praise the Eternal with a psalm; sing songs of praise to Him!
Play on the timbrel and the harp, and make a joyful noise!
This is a statute and a law God has ordained for us,
In the appointed time to keep; this do on God’s solemn feast!
Verse 2 Blow on the trumpet; sing a psalm; make joyful noise to God!
He has delivered us from sin, saved us from Egypt’s land!
We cried to God in bondage there; God heard and answered us;
From thunderclouds He answered us: “Hear, O My people, hear My words!”
Last Verse But His own people would not hear; they would not hear His voice;
They only wanted their own way, following their own hearts.
“O that My people would obey, walking in all My ways!
I should have soon delivered them, turned My hand against their foes!”
