Common Metre (8,6,8,6)

Suggested Tunes: 88 Montrose, 36 Bloxham, 87 Milton

1    Give ye unto the Lord, ye sons

            that of the mighty be,

      All strength and glory to the Lord

            with cheerfulness give ye.

2    Unto the Lord the glory give

            that to his name is due;

      And in the beauty of holiness

            unto JEHOVAH bow.

3    The Lord’s voice on the waters is;

            the God of majesty

      Doth thunder, and on multitudes

            of waters sitteth he.

4    A pow’rful voice it is that comes

            out from the Lord most high;

      The voice of that great Lord is full

            of glorious majesty.

5    The voice of the Eternal doth

            asunder cedars tear;

      Yea, God the Lord doth cedars break

            that Lebanon doth bear.

6    He makes them like a calf to skip,

            ev’n that great Lebanon,

      And, like to a young unicorn,

            the mountain Sirion.

7    God’s voice divides the flames of fire;

8         The desert it doth shake:

      The Lord doth make the wilderness

            of Kadesh all to quake.

9    God’s voice doth make the hinds to calve,

            it makes the forest bare:

      And in his temple ev’ry one

            his glory doth declare.

10  The Lord sits on the floods; the Lord

            sits King, and ever shall.

11  The Lord will give his people strength,

            and with peace bless them all.
