- O come let us lift up our voice,
- and sing unto the Lord:
- In him our rock of health rejoice
- let us with one accord.
-
- 2 Yea, let us come before his face,
- to give him thanks and praise:
- In singing Psalms unto his grace,
- let us be glad always.
-
- 3 For why? the Lord he is no doubt,
- a great and mighty God.
- A king above all Gods throughout,
- in all the world abroad.
-
- 4 The secrets of the earth so deep,
- and corners of the land:
- The tops of hills that are so steep,
- he hath them in his hand.
-
- 5 The sea and waters all are his,
- for he the same hath wrought,
- The earth and all that therein is,
- his hand hath made of naught.
-
- 6 Come let us bow and praise the Lord,
- before him let us fall;
- And kneel to him with one accord,
- the which hath made us all.
-
- 7 For why? he is the Lord our God,
- for us he doth provide:
- We are his flock, he doth us feed,
- his sheep and he our guide.
-
- 8 To day if ye his voice will hear,
- then harden not your heart:
- As ye with grouching many a year
- provoke me in desert.
-
- 9 Whereas your fathers tempted me,
- my power for to prove:
- My wondrous works when they did see,
- yet still they would me move.
-
- 10 Twice twenty years they did me grieve,
- and I to them did say:
- They err in heart, and not believe,
- they have not known my way.
-
- 11 Wherefore I swear that when my wrath
- was kindled in my breast:
- That they should never tread the path,
- to enter in my rest.
