Watts began it in rather mechanical fashion,
“Sing to the Lord with joyful voice,
Let every land his name adore;
The British Isles shall send the noise
Across the ocean to the shore.”
Wesley omitted this stanza entirely. Beginning with the second stanza,
“With gladness bow before his throne,
And let his presence raise your joys;
Know that the Lord is God alone
And formed our soul and framed our voice”
