If you’re working with the lectionary passages for Easter 4 (May 1 5 2 01 1 1 4 8th – otherwise known as “Rejoice, the Lord is King.”
Come, let us praise the Lord
(based on Psalm 9 5 )
Come let us praise the Lord,
with joy our God acclaim,
his greatness tell abroad
and bless his saving Name.
Lift high your songs
before his throne
to whom alone
all praise belongs.
Our God of matchless worth,
our King beyond compare,
the deepest bounds of earth,
the hills, are in his care.
He all decrees,
who by his hand
prepared the land
and formed the seas.
In worship bow the knee,
our glorious God confess;
the great Creator, he
the Lord of Righteousness.
He reigns unseen:
his flock he feeds
and gently leads
in pastures green.
Come, hear his voice today,
receive what love imparts;
his holy will obey
and harden not your hearts.
His ways are best;
and lead at last,
all troubles past,
to perfect rest.
—Timothy Dudley-Smith
