All who fear the Lord, come and offer praise.
Join with us, declare his love. Come and offer praise!
For his love to us is sure; generations pass away,
yet his steadfast love shall last for ever and forever.

O Give thanks to God! Come and offer praise,
for the Lord our God is good. Let all Israel say:
Everlasting is his love! Let the house of Aaron say:
God the Lord is good, his mercy shall endure for ever.

In anguish I cried to God, he came to my aid
and answered my prayer; he came to set me free.
The Lord God is with me, who can make me afraid?
Since he is my helper, enemies shall never triumph.

When in time of need, turn to God not man.
Come, take refuge in the Lord; not in princes’ plans.
Though all nations threaten me, in God’s hands is victory.
God shall thwart them all; their schemes and plans shall come to nothing.

Though I was pushed back, though I’d nearly fallen,
God’s help came so swiftly. He’s my strength and song.
Shouts of joy and victory shall resound from the tents of the righteous.
The Lord has done great things, his right hand is lifted on high.

Open to me the Gates of Righteousness;
I will enter with thanksgiving to God.
Give praise to God, for he has delivered me.
He has become my salvation.

This rejected stone builders put aside
has become the cornerstone. Marvellous in our eyes
are the deeds the Lord has done. Come rejoice, be glad in him!
God has made this day, to him be all the glory!
