Canticle 1(Psalm 95) Lyrics

O come, let us sing unto the Lord

Let us heartily rejoice in the strength of our salvation.

Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving

And show ourselves glad in Him with psalms.

For the Lord is a great God and great King above all gods.

In His hand are all the corners of earth and the strength of the hills is His also.

The sea is His, and he made it, and His hands prepared the dry land.

O come, let us worship, and fall down and kneel before the Lord our Maker.

For He is the Lord our God and we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand.

Today if ye will hear His voice, harden not your hearts as the provocation,

And as in the day of temptation in the wilderness;

When your fathers tempted me; proved me, and saw my works.

Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said;

It is a people that do err in their hearts, for they have not known my ways.

Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.

Glory be to the father, and to the son and to the Holy Ghost

As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be;

World without end.

Amen
