Come, let us to the Lord our God
With contrite hearts return;
Our God is gracious, nor will leave
The desolate to mourn.
With contrite hearts return;
Our God is gracious, nor will leave
The desolate to mourn.
His voice commands the tempest forth
And stills the stormy wave;
And though his arm be strong to smite,
'Tis also strong to save.
And stills the stormy wave;
And though his arm be strong to smite,
'Tis also strong to save.
Long hath the night of sorrow reigned;
The dawn shall bring us light;
God shall appear, and we shall rise
With gladness in his sight.
The dawn shall bring us light;
God shall appear, and we shall rise
With gladness in his sight.
Our hearts, if God we seek to know,
Shall know him, and rejoice;
His coming like the morn shall be,
Like morning songs his voice.
Shall know him, and rejoice;
His coming like the morn shall be,
Like morning songs his voice.
As dew upon the tender herb,
Diffusing fragrance round;
As showers that usher in the spring,
And cheer the thirsty ground:
Diffusing fragrance round;
As showers that usher in the spring,
And cheer the thirsty ground:
So shall his presence bless our souls,
And shed a joyful light;
That hallowed morn shall chase away
The sorrows of the night.
And shed a joyful light;
That hallowed morn shall chase away
The sorrows of the night.
