Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord
Let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation
Let us come before Him with thanksgiving
And extol Him with music and song as one happy nation

For the Lord is the great God
The great King above all gods
In His hand are the depths of the earth
And the mountain peaks belong to Him as they are coming from His words

The sea is His, for He made it
And His hands formed the dry land
Come, let us bow down in worship
Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker, who loves us from beginning till the end

For He is our God
And we are all the people of His pasture
The flock under His care
Under the care of Eternal Master

Today, if only You would hear His voice
“Do not harden your hearts as at Meribah you did
As you did that day at Massah in the wilderness
Where your ancestors tested me

They tried me, though they had seen what I did
For forty years I was angry with that generation
I said, ‘They are a people whose hearts go astray
And they have not known my ways, an awful situation’

So I declared on oath in my anger
‘They shall never enter my rest’”
These are the words of our God
The words of God who always does what He says
