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.
