O Come (95)

`Not to us_, LORD_, not to us, but to your / name give glory,

`for the sake_ of your loving kindness and_ / faithfulness.

`Why_ should the / nations say,

`”Where is / their God now?”

`But our God is / in the heavens.

`He_ does whatever he_ / pleas~ es.

`Their idols are silver / and~ gold,

the `work of / human hands.

(Ref)

`They have mouths_, but they / do not speak.

`They have eyes_, but they / do not see.

`They have ears_, but they / do not hear.

`They have noses, but they / do not smell.

`They have hands_, but they / do not feel. 

`They have feet_, but they / do not walk,

`neither do they speak_ / through their throat.

`Those who make them will be / like~ them; • and `so will ev’ryone who / trusts in them.

`Israel, trust / in the LORD!

`He_ is their help_ / and their shield.

`House of Aaron, trust_ / in the LORD!

`He_ is their help_ / and their shield. +

`You who fear the LORD, trust / in the LORD!

`He_ is their help_ / and their shield.

(Ref)

The `LORD remembers us_. He will / bless~ us.

`He will bless the house of / Israel.

`He will bless the / house of Aaron.

`He will bless those who_ / fear the LORD, • `both_ / small and great.

`May the LORD increase you / more and more,

`you_ / and your children.

`Bless’d are you_ / by the LORD,

`who made heaven / and~ earth. +

The `heavens / are the LORD’s,

but `he has given the earth to the children / of mankind.

The `dead do not_ / praise the LORD,

nor `any who go down_ / into silence,

but `we will / bless the LORD,

from `this time forward and for / ever more. • `Halle / lu~ jah!
