Morning Canticle

Venite    Psalm 95:1-7

Come, let us sing to the Lord; * 

   let us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation. 

Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving * 

   and raise a loud shout to him with psalms.

For the Lord is a great God, * 

   and a great King above all gods. 

In his hand are the caverns of the earth, * 

   and the heights of the hills are his also. 

The sea is his, for he made it, * 

   and his hands have molded the dry land.

Come, let us bow down, and bend the knee, * 

   and kneel before the Lord our Maker. 

For he is our God, 

and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand. * 

   Oh, that today you would hearken to his voice!
