1
All people that on earth do dwell
sing to the Lord with cheerful voice:
him serve with mirth, His praise forth tell;
come ye before Him and rejoice.
2
The Lord, ye know, is God indeed;
without our aid He did us make:
we are His folk, He doth us feed;
and for His sheep He doth us take.
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.
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.
5
To Father, Son and Holy Ghost,
the God whom heaven and earth adore,
from earth and from the angel host
be praise and glory evermore.
William Kethe (d. 1594)
