Venite

Ant. I will walk * before the Lord in the land of the living.

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 shew 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 heart, for they have not known my ways.

Unto whom I sware in my wrath:

that they should not enter into my rest.

Ant. I will walk * before the Lord in the land of the living.
