Lyrics

Oh come, let’s sing to the LORD Let’s shout aloud to the rock of our salvation

Let’s come before his presence with thanksgiving Let’s extol him with songs For the LORD is a great God A great King above all gods

In his hand are the deep places of the earth The heights of the mountains are also his The sea is his, and he made it His hands formed the dry land

Oh come, let’s worship and bow down Let’s kneel before the LORD, our Maker For he is our God We are the people of his pasture And the sheep in his care

Today, oh that you would hear his voice Don’t harden your heart, as at Meribah As in the day of Massah in the wilderness When your fathers tempted me and tested me

They saw my work Yet I was grieved with that generation They are a people who err in their heart They have not known my ways

Therefore I swore in my wrath They won’t enter into my rest But you will come before the LORD In truth and righteousness Oh come, let’s worship and bow down

Before the LORD, our Maker We are his people We are the sheep in his care
