Venite

Set by William Byrd (1542?3? - 1623), "Venite", from oratorio Great Service, no. 1 [Sung Text]

Note: this setting is made up of several separate texts.


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.
O come, let us worship, and fall down:
and kneel before the Lord our Maker.
For he is the Lord our God: and we are the people
of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.
Today if ye will hear his voice, 
harden not your hearts:
as in the provocation,
and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness;
When your fathers tempted me:
proved me, and saw my works.
Forty years long was I grieved with this generation,
and said: It is a people that do err in their hearts,
for they have not known my ways.
Unto whom I sware in my wrath:
that they should not enter into my rest.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son,
