49. O come, let us sing to the Lord

1 O come, let us sing to the Lord,
To Him our voices raise;
With joyful noise let us the Rock
Of our salvation praise.

2 Let us before His presence come
With praise, and thankful voice;
Let us sing psalms to Him with grace,
And make a joyful noise.

3 For God's a great God, and great King;
Above all gods He is.
The depths of earth are in His hand,
The heights of hills are His.

4 To Him the spacious sea belongs,
For He the same did make;
The dry land also from His hands
Its form at first did take.

5 O come, and let us worship Him;
Let us bow down withal,
And on our knees before the Lord,
Our Maker, let us fall.

Amen.
