The earth is the Lord’s for he made it:  O come, let us adore him.

Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness:  O come, let us adore him.

The mercy of the Lord is everlasting: O come, let us adore him.

[Alleluia.] The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us:  O come, let us adore him. [Alleluia.]

[Alleluia.]  The Lord is glorious in his saints: O come, let us adore him. [Alleluia.]

Venite   Psalm 95:1&#8209;7; 96:9, 13

O come, let us sing unto the Lord; *
 * let us heartily rejoice in the strength of our salvation.

Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, *
 * and show ourselves glad in him with psalms.

For the Lord is a great God, *
 * and a great King above all gods.

In his hand are all the corners of the earth, *
 * and the strength of the hills is his also.

The sea is his and he made it, *
 * and his hands prepared the dry land.
