O come be­fore the Lord, our king,
And in His pre­sence let us sing;
Let us in glad and joy­ful lays
The rock of our sal­va­tion praise;
Before Him come with thank­ful song,
In joy­ful psalms His praise pro­long.

Almighty pow­er the Lord main­tains,
Exalted ov­er all He reigns;
He holds the val­leys in His hand,
He makes the migh­ty mount­ains stand;
To Him be­long both land and sea,
Creator of the world is He.

O come and let us wor­ship now,
Before our mak­er let us bow;
We are His sheep and He our God,
He feeds our souls in pas­tures broad;
He safe­ly leads us in the way;
O come and heed His voice to­day.

Take heed and hard­en not your heart
As did your fa­thers, nor de­part
From God to fol­low in their ways;
For with com­plaints in­stead of praise,
With doubt in­stead of faith con­fessed,
They put His mer­cy to the test.

Take heed that ye pro­voke Him not
As did your fa­thers, who for­got,
With err­ing heart, God’s ho­ly ways
And grieved Him all their sin­ful days;
To whom in wrath Je­ho­vah sware,
My pro­mised rest they shall not share.
