1O come, let us sing un-to the Lord; Let us heart-i-ly re-joice in the Strength of our Sal-va-tion.
For the Lord is a great God, And a great King a-bove all gods.

RefrainO come, let us wor-ship and fall down, Let us kneel be-fore the Lord, our Mak-er.

2The sea is His, and He made it! And His hands pre-pared the dry land.

3Let us come be-fore His pres-ence with thanks-giv-ing, And show our-selves glad in Him with psalms.
In His hand are all the cor-ners of the earth, And the strength of the hills is His.
