The Old 95th

Here's the chord charts to one of my favorite Psalms, Psalm 95C in the Book of Psalms for Singing. The presbyterian church I used to go to would sing this song vibrantly and with gusto. This is how it ought to be song. This is a warfare Psalm so it must feel warlike and resurrectional.



        Em     Am         Bm  Em                             F#        Bm
Come let us sing unto the Lord! Let us in honor shout for joy

     Am                     (D)       Bm   Em    G                           A      D

To Him the rock of our sal – va – tion.   O let us enter His presence

            Em                    A      G   F#   G                           Am           Bm Em
With thanksgiving with joy – ful song, O let us sing with psalms un – to Him



    Em         Am         Bm   Em                             F#        Bm
Because the Lord is a great God, a mighty King above all gods.
        Am                     (D)     Bm     Em   G                                    A D
The depths of earth are at His fing – ers;   He owns the highest of mountains
      Em                A     G    F#  G                                    Am      Bm  Em
The sea is His for He made it.   His hands have fashioned all the dry land.



        Em     Am               Bm   Em                                  F#    Bm
Come let us worship and bow down; Let us before our maker kneel,
   Am                      D      Bm  Em    G                                A   D
Before the Lord for He is our God.   We people are of His pasture,
        Em                     A     G     F#   G                       Am           Bm  Em
The chosen flock He tends with care. Oh if today you would hear His voice.



          Em              Am               Bm  Em                                F#   Bm
God’s voice says, “Don’t stiffen your heart the way you did at Meribah,
   Am                 D       Bm   Em    G                                A      D
A time of testing in the des - ert.   Your fathers tested my patience;
        Em                         A    G    F#      G                               Am  Bm Em
They tried Me with their dis–con–tent, though witnessing the wonders I did
