Let Us Sing with Joy to the Lord

1 O come, let us sing with joy to the LORD; our Savior and rock, loud praises accord. 2 With thanks let us enter his presence and raise our shouts of thanksgiving in psalms filled with praise. 3 How great is the LORD, our God and our King, above all the gods, his greatness we sing. 5 Earth’s valleys and mountains he holds in his hand. He made them and rules them–the sea and the land. 6 O come, let us bow and worship the LORD; before him we kneel, with praises adore. 7 For he is our God; we’re the sheep of his hand, and we are his people who dwell in his land. Today if you hear the voice of the LORD, 8 then close not your hearts to God’s holy word, like those in the desert of Massah that day, like those who at Meribah would not obey. 9 My people provoked and tested me there, although in my works they’d seen my great care. 10 With that generation for forty long years my deep indignation continued to burn. 11 I said, “They have hearts that wander astray; they do not affirm my excellent way.” And so, in my anger, on oath I declared, “The rest I have promised, they never will share.” – Trinity Psalter Hymnal, alt.
