Lyrics

O come and to Je­ho­vah sing,
To Him our voices raise;
Let us in our most joyful songs
The Lord our Sav­ior praise,
The Lord our Sav­ior praise.

Before His presence let us come
With praise and thankful voice;
Let us sing psalms to Him with grace,
With grateful hearts rejoice,
With grateful hearts rejoice.

Jehovah is a mighty king,
Above all gods His throne;
The depths of earth are in His hand,
The mountains are His own,
The mountains are His own.

To Him the spacious sea belongs,
He made its waves and tides;
And by His hand the rising land
Was formed, and still abides,
Was formed, and still abides.

O come, and bowing down to Him
Our worship let us bring;
Yea, let us kneel before the Lord,
Our maker and our king,
Our maker and our king.
