I O COME, let us sing un- to the Lord; || Let us heartily rejoice in the strength of | our salvation.

2 Let us come before His presence | with thanks- | giving; || And show ourselves | glad in | Him with psalms.

3 For the Lord is a | great- | God; || And a great | King a- | bove all | gods.

4 In His hands are all the corners of the | earth; || And the strength of the hills is | His- also.

5 The sea is His and He made it; || And His hands pre- | pared | the dry | land. 6 O come, let us worship and fall | down; || And kneel be- | fore the | Lord our | Maker. 7 For He is the Lord our | God; || And we are the people of His pasture, and the | sheep of His- | hand.

8 O worship the Lord in the | beauty of | holiness; || Let the whole i earth-stand in | awe of Him.

*9 For He cometh, for He cometh to judge the | earth; || And with righteousness to judge the world, and the people with His truth.

10 Glory be to the Father, and | to the | Son, || And | to the | Holy Ghost;

11 As it was in the beginning, is now, and | ever-shall be, || World without end. A-| men, A- | men.
