1. O come, let us sing to the Lord:come, let us ev'ry oneA joyful noise make to the Rockof our salvation.
2. Let us before his presence comewith praise and thankful voice;Let us sing psalms to him with grace,and make a joyful noise.
3. For God, a great God, and great King,above all gods he is.
4. Depths of the earth are in his hand,the strength of hills is his.
5. To him the spacious sea belongs,for he the same did make;The dry land also from his handsits form at first did take.
6. O come, and let us worship him,let us bow down withal,And on our knees before the Lordour Maker let us fall.
7. For he's our God, the people weof his own pasture are,And of his hand the sheep; to-day,if ye his voice will hear,
8. Then harden not your hearts, as inthe provocation,As in the desert, on the dayof the tentation:
9. When me your fathers tempt'd and prov'd,and did my working see;
10. Ev'n for the space of forty yearsthis race hath grieved me.I said, This people errs in heart,my ways they do not know:
11. To whom I sware in wrath, that tomy rest they should not go.
