O come and let us all with one accord

Representative Text

1 Oh, come, and let us all, with one accord,
Lift up our cheerful voice, and praise the Lord!
Let us this evening bless his holy Name,
Yea, let us laud and magnify the same.

2 Let universe nature ever raise
A cheerful voice to give him thanks and praise;
Let us and all his saints his glory sing,
Who is our blessèd Saviour, Lord, and King.

3 For by his word the heaven and earth were made,
The earth's foundation also firmly laid;
All things were done at his divine command,
And shall throughout all ages surely stand.

4 Therefore let all in heaven and earth agree
To sing his praise in perfect unity;
Yea, let his servants all, with one accord,
With joyful hallelujahs praise the Lord.
