Psalm 95Words: The Psalter of the United Presbyterian Church of North America, 1887 ed. There is also a Long Metre version of this Psalm on this page 1 O come, let us, in songs to God, Our cheerful voices raise, In joyful shouts let us the Rock Of our salvation praise. 2 Before his presence let us come With praise and thankful voice; Let us sing psalms to him with grace, And make a joyful noise. 3 For God, a mighty God, and King, Above all gods he is. The depths of earth are in his hands The strength of hills is his. 4 To him the spacious sea belongs, For he the same did make; The dry land also from his hands Its form at first did take. 5 O come, and let us worship aim, Let us bow down withal, And on our knees, before the Lord Our Maker, let us fall. 6 Because he only is our God; And we the people are Of his own pasture, and the sheep Of his almighty care. 7 To-day, if ye his voice will hear, Your hearts then harden not; As they in desert did provoke And tempt his anger hot. 8 Your fathers did me tempt and prove They did my working see; And for the space of forty years This race hath griev�d me. 9 I said, this people errs in heart, My ways they do not know: To whom I swore in wrath, that to My rest they should not go. 1 O come, and let us sing to God, The rock of our salvation laud; Let us in psalms our tongues employ; Before him render thanks with joy; The Lord is great whose praise we sing, Above all gods a mighty King. 2 The vast deep places of the land, And strength of hills, are in his hand; The sea is his, he gave it birth, His hands prepared the solid earth: O come, and let us worship now, Before the Lord our Maker bow. 3 He is our God, we are the sheep His hand doth feed and safely keep; If ye his voice will hear to-day, Then harden not your hearts, as they Who in the wilderness beheld His mighty works, and yet rebelled. 4 Your fathers there my works did see, But still they proved and tempted me. For forty years ! did them bear; I said, in heart and ways they err; To whom in wrath I did protest They shall not see my promised rest. |
