Tune: Penuel
(\'Come, O Thou Traveller Unknown\')
Psalm 81 part
********
Sing aloud to God, He our strength
He does provide for us at length
Make joyful noise unto His name
He God of Jacob, e\'er the same
Take a psalm, and bring too hither
Pleasant harp, psaltery, lute, zither
Blow up the trumpet in new moon
And in feast days too at high noon
In solemn feast days praise Him give
He God always, does ever live
This for Israel was a statute
And a law, praise Him, pipe and lute
The people in their trouble called
He came to their help, it not stalled
But they would not hear, not obey
They chose to go their selfish way
O that my people me had heard
So they would prosper by my word
If they had heard, walked in my ways
I should have subdued in their days
Their enemies, they would turn back
Midst my people would be no lack
haters of the Lord, they would have turned
Against them the Lord\'s judgement burned
Then His people\'s time should have endured
His presence with them be assured
He should have fed then with fine wheat
And they should worship at His feet
With food He should have satisfied
Them, yes fo them He would provide
