THE SACRIFICES OF GOD (Not included in the recording)
The Sacrifices of God are a broken spirit.
A broken and a contrite heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise.
O COME, LET US SING
O come let us sing unto the Lord;
Let us make a joyful noise
To the rock of our salvation.
Let us come before His presence
With thanksgiving,
And make a joyful noise unto Him with psalms.
For the Lord is a great God,
And a great King above all gods.
O come, let us worship and bow down;
Let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker.
For He is our God, and we are
The people of His pasture,
And the sheep of His hand.
O sing unto the Lord a new song:
Sing unto the Lord, all the earth.
Sing unto the Lord, bless His name;
Show forth His salvation from day to day.
Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad;
Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.
Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein.
Then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice
Before the Lord: For He cometh.
For He cometh to judge the earth:
He shall judge the world with righteousness,
And His people with His truth.

Lyrics: THE SACRIFICES OF GOD
The Sacrifices of God are a broken spirit.
A broken and a contrite heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise.
O COME, LET US SING
O come let us sing unto the Lord;
Let us make a joyful noise
To the rock of our salvation.
Let us come before His presence
With thanksgiving,
And make a joyful noise unto Him with psalms.
For the Lord is a great God,
And a great King above all gods.
O come, let us worship and bow down;
Let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker.
For He is our God, and we are
The people of His pasture,
And the sheep of His hand.
O sing unto the Lord a new song:
Sing unto the Lord, all the earth.
Sing unto the Lord, bless His name;
Show forth His salvation from day to day.
Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad;
Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.
Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein.
Then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice
Before the Lord: For He cometh.
For He cometh to judge the earth:
He shall judge the world with righteousness,
And His people with His truth.
