let us

Allow we two

Let us is the uncontracted form of let's, used to propose a shared action: Let us begin, Let us pray.

The fuller form sounds more formal or ceremonial than the contraction.

It can also be a straightforward request for permission, with us as the object: Let us go—which might mean "allow us to leave" rather than "we should leave together."
