 1.  O come, my people, to my law,
        attentively give ear;
     With willing heart and teachable
        the words of wisdom hear.

 2.  My mouth shall speak in parables
        of hidden truths of old
     which handed down from age to ate,
        to us our fathers told.

 3.  We will not from their children hide
        Jehovah's worthy praise,
     but tell the greatness of His strength,
        His wondrous works and ways.

 4.  A testimony and a law 
        the Lord our God decreed.
     and bade our fathers teach their sons,
        that they His ways might heed.

 5.  He willed that each succeeding race
        His deeds might learn and know,
     that children's children to their sons
        might all these wonders show.

 6.  Let children learn God's righteous ways
        and on Him stay their heart,
     that they may not forget His works
        nor from His ways depart.
