Text: | Come, let us to the Lord our God |
Tune: | KEDRON |
Arranger: | Hugh S. Robertson (1874-1952) |
1 Come, let us to the Lord our God
with contrite hearts return;
our God is gracious, nor will leave
the desolate to mourn.
2 His voice commands the tempest forth
and stills the stormy wave,
his arm is sure and strong to smite,
but also strong to save.
3 Long has the night of sorrow reigned;
the dawn shall bring us light:
God shall appear, and we shall rise
with gladness in his sight.
4 Our hearts, if God we seek to know,
shall know him, and rejoice;
his coming like the morn shall be,
like morning songs his voice.
5 As dew upon the tender herb,
diffusing fragrance round,
as showers that usher in the spring,
and cheer the thirsty ground:
6 So shall his presence bless our souls,
and shed a joyful light,
that hallowed morn shall chase away
the sorrows of the night.
