Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come with all joy to sing to God
our saving rock, the living Lord;
in glad thanksgiving seek his face
with songs of victory and grace.
2 In holiness and light arrayed
above all gods that we have made,
he is the one almighty King,
and his the glory that we sing.
3 The earth is his from east to west,
from ocean floor to mountain crest;
he made the sea and formed the lands,
he shaped the islands by his hands.
4 Come near to worship! Come with faith,
bow down to God who gives us breath:
God is our shepherd, God alone;
we are his people, all his own.
5 But if you hear his voice today
do not reject what he will say;
when Israel wandered from God's path
they suffered forty years of wrath.
6 That generation went astray;
they did not want to know his way:
they put their Saviour to the test,
and saw his power, but lost their rest.
