Lyrics (Psalm 24:1-2, 3-4, 5-6):
The LORDŐs are the earth and its fullness;
the world and those who dwell in it.
For he founded it upon the seas
and established it upon the rivers. Response
Who can ascend the mountain of the LORD?
or who may stand in his holy place?
One whose hands are sinless, whose heart is clean,
who desires not what is vain. Response
He shall receive a blessing from the LORD,
a reward from God his savior.
Such is the race that seeks for him,
that seeks the face of the God of Jacob. Response
