The Cyber Hymnal ‎#4748

4748. O Come and Sing to God, the Lord

1. O come and sing to the God, the Lord,
To Him our voices raise;
Let us in our most joyful songs
The Lord, our Savior, praise.

2. Before His presence let us come
With praise and thankful voice;
Let us sing joyful psalms to Him,
With grateful hearts rejoice.

3. The Lord Our God is King of kings,
Above all gods His throne;
The depths of earth are in His hand,
The mountains are His own.

4. To Him the spacious sea belongs,
He made its waves and tides;
And by His hand the rising land
Was formed and still abides.

5. O come and, bowing down to Him,
Our worship let us bring;
O let us praise the gracious Lord,
Our Maker and our King.

A version from the 1650 Scottish Psalter:

1. O come, let us sing to the Lord,
To Him our voices raise;
With joyful noise let us the rock
Of our salvation praise.

2. Let us before His presence come
With praise, and thankful voice;
Let us sing psalms to Him with grace,
And make a joyful noise.

3. For God’s a great God, and great King;
Above all gods He is.
The depths of earth are in His hands;
The heights of hills are His.

4. To Him the spacious sea belongs,
For He the same did make;
The dry land also from His hands
Its form at first did take.

5. O come, and let us worship Him;
Let us bow down withal,
And on our knees before the Lord,
Our maker, let us fall.
