Full Lyrics

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.
