Venite

Venite

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!
