233. All People That on Earth Do Dwell

1 All people that on earth do dwell,
Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice.
Him serve with fear; his praise forthtell;
Come ye before him and rejoice.

2 Know that the Lord 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 Oh, 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 forever 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 heav'n and earth adore,
From us and from the angel host
Be praise and glory evermore.
