Make a joyful sound to God, all nations; Sing the honor of His mighty name. Say how awesome are the works before us; Every enemy bows beneath His reign. Come and see the deeds of God in history: Sea became dry ground beneath His hand. He rules forever, watching every people; Let no rebel rise in proud command. You tested us like silver in the furnace, Brought us through the fire and through the flood. Though a heavy burden lay upon us, You led us to a wealthy place, O God. I will enter with the vows I promised, Offer what my lips declared in pain. Come and hear, all those who fear the Lord; I will tell what He has done for me. Had I cherished sin, He would not hear me; Blessed be the God who heard my prayer.
