Verse 1
All people that on earth do dwell,
Sing to the Lord with cheerful
voice;
Him serve with mirth, His praise
forthtell;
Come ye before Him and rejoice.
Verse 2
Know that the Lord is God indeed;
Without our aid He did us make;
We are His flock, he doth us feed
And for His sheep He doth us take.
Verse 3
O enter then, His gates with praise,
Approach with joy His courts
unto;
Praise, laud, and bless His name always.
For it is seemly so to do.
Verse 4
For why? the Lord our God is good;
His mercy is for ever sure;
His truth at all times firmly stood,
And shall from age to age endure,
William Kethe.
