Tune: Unter Herrscher - 'with ruler'
('Come ye faithful, raise the anthem')
*******
Psalm 95 v.1
Come let us unto the LORD sing
Grateful worship, praises bring
Let us make a noise true joyful
To the LORD, the King of all
He the rock of our salvation
Availing to each nation
Psalm 95 v.6-7
O come let us before Him kneel
He will hear us, forgive, heal
Let us bow before Him humbly
He the penitents shall see
For He is our God, he us made
We sheep in pasture arrayed
Psalm 96 v.7-8
Give to the LORD glory and strength
His praise be of endless length
Give Him glory due to His name
He who e'er remains the same
Bring an offering to His courts
He accepts good gifts, all sorts
Psalm 96 v.10-11
Say among heathen, the LORD reigns
Does as He wills, as he deigns
The world also shall be stablished
Nothing unsteady or missed
He shall the people judge rightly
In Him we shall joyful be
Psalm 97 v.12
Rejoice in Him all you righteous
He comes to us, us shall bless
Give thanks at the remembrance
Of His holy, pure presence
He e'er the LORD, reigns for ever
And shall abdicate never
Psalm 98 v.2
The LORD His salvation has shown
To all lands it He made known
His righteousness openly too
Shown to heathen, not a few
Good news message sowed unto all
Who do hear His gracious call
Psalm 99 v.9
Exalt the LORD our God, Him praise
At His holy hill songs raise
Worship Him, for He is holy
Now and evermore shall be
Join each voice in acclamation
Of the LORD, and Christ His Son
Psalm 100 v.3
Know you that the LORD he us made
In creation us outlaid
We His people in His pasture
Sheep of His, we are kept sure
For He the great Shepherd us feeds
Tends us, cares, and meets our needs
