Psalm 66: Come and hear!
Come, everyone, come and sing!
This is our story, this is our song,
praising our Saviour all the day long!
Sing the glory of his name, let’s hear of his greatness!
Say to our God, “How awesome you are,
how amazing is your power!
All the earth worships you!”
Come, everyone, come and see!
Here we are, God’s people,
here because of what the Lord has done for us.
Remember how he brought the people of Israel
out of slavery, through the sea, safe and sound?
It’s the same for us – we too have been lead into freedom.
God did not let our feet slip or our enemies overtake us.
Mind you, it was not always easy:
we have been tested to the limit,
carried heavy burdens on our backs.
God has led us through fire and through water
and out again into wide open space.
Come, everyone, come and hear:
cry aloud to God, shout your praise!
Here we make our vows,
promises that we will keep.
Here we bring our offerings,
together with our prayers.
Bless the Lord who hears us,
his everlasting love will never leave us.
