O Come and let us now rejoice,

And sing unto the Lord,

And to our only savior:

Also with one accord.

O let us come before his face,

With inward reverence,

Confessing all our former sins,

And that with diligence.

To thank him for his benefits,

Always distributing:

Wherefore to him right joyfully,

In Psalms now let us sing

And that because that God alone,

Is Lord magnificent,

And eke above other Gods,

A King omnipotent.

His people doth not he forsake,

At any time or ride:

And in his hands are all the coasts

Of all the world so wide.

And with his loving countenance

He looketh every where:

And doth behold the tops of all

The mountains far and near.

The sea and all that is therein

Are his, for he them made:

And eke his hand hath fashioned,

The earth which doth not fade.

O come therefore and worship him,

And down before him fall,

And let us kneel before the Lord,

The which hath made us all.

He is our God, our Lord, and King,

And we his people are:

His flocks and sheep of his pasture,

On whom he taketh care.

This day if ye will hear his voice,

Yet harden not your heart,

As in their bitter murmuring,

When ye were in desart.

Which thing was of their negligence

Committed in the time

Of trouble in the wilderness:

A great and grievous crime.

Whereas your fathers tempted me,

And tried me every way:

They proved me and saw my works,

What I could do or say.

These forty years I have been grieved,

With all this generation?

And evermore I said they erred

In their imagination.

Wherewith their hearts were sore cumbered

Long time and many days,

Wherefore I know assuredly,

They have not known my ways.

To whom I in my anger swore,

That they should not be blessed,

Nor see my joy celestial,

Nor enter in my rest.
