P95b. O come, and let us to the Lord

1 O come, and let us to the Lord
in songs 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 The Lord's 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 hands
its form at first did take.

6 O come and let us worship him,
let us bow down withal,
and on our knees before the Lord
our Maker let us fall.

7 For he's our God, the people we
of his own pasture are,
and of his hand the sheep; today,
if ye his voice will hear,
8 Then harden not your hearts, as in
the wilderness of old,
when Meribah and Massah did
trial and strife behold.
9 When me your fathers tempted, proved,
and did my working see.
10 Even for the space of forty years
this race hath grieved me.

I said, This people errs in heart,
my ways they do not know;
11 so in my wrath I sware, that to
my rest they should not go.
