Sing to the Lord, who loud proclaims

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.

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

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.

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