O come, let us sing to the Lord, In God our salvation rejoice

Verse 1

O come, let us sing to the Lord, in God our salvation rejoice, in psalms of thanksgiving record his praise, with one spirit, one voice. For Jehovah is king — and he reigns, the God of all gods on his throne, the strength of the hills he maintains, the ends of the earth are his own.

Verse 2

The sea is Jehovah’s; he made the tide its dominion to know; the land is Jehovah’s; he laid its solid foundations below. O come let us worship and kneel before our Creator, our God; the people who serve him with zeal, the flock whom he guides with his rod.

Verse 3

To-day, if his voice ye will hear, he speaks from above to you still; 'O turn not aside; but forbear to harden your hearts to my will, as once on the wilderness way of old my long-suffering you tried; the day of temptation, the day when God's righteous wrath ye defied.

Verse 4

'Your fathers against me rebelled; and forty years long was I grieved, my works while they daily beheld, but, tempting their God, disbelieved. Their heart had from me gone astray, and I sware in thy wrath, that unblest the people that knew not my way should ne'er enter into my rest.'
