Common Metre Tunes
  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.
Long Metre Tunes 
  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.
