All peo-ple that on earth do dwell,
Sing to the Lord with cheer-ful voice;
Him serve with mirth, His praise forth tell,
Come ye be-fore Him and re-joice.
Know that the Lord is God in-deed:
With-out our aid He did us make;
We are His folk, He doth us feed,
And for His sheep He doth us take.
O en-ter then His gates with praise,
Ap-proach with joy His courts un-to;
Praise, laud, and bless His name al-ways,
For it is seem-ly so to do.
For why? the Lord our God is good,
His mer-cy is for-ev-er sure;
His truth at all times firm-ly stood,
And shall from age to age en-dure.
