O come let us sing to the Lord, let us worship
1 O come let us sing to the Lord,
let us worship the Rock of Salvation,
and enter his presence with praise,
with thanksgiving and great jubilation.
2 The Lord is our Maker and King,
he is mighty, the God of creation;
the earth and the oceans are his,
and the people of each race and nation.
3 O come let us fall at his feet,
let us own him our Lord and our Master;
for we are the sheep of his hand,
ever kept by his power from disaster.
4 Today let us heed what he says,
and not harden our hearts by complaining,
like those who rebelled at his word
in the desert his goodness disdaining.
5 They tried him and tested his love,
and rejected the word he had spoken,
their hearts they had turned from his ways,
and his excellent law they had broken.
6 The Lord in his anger declared
'They shall never inherit my blessing';
may we not be stubborn, O Lord,
but obey you, your great name confessing.
