ALL PEOPLE THAT ON EARTH DO DWELL
All people that on earth do dwell,
Sing to the Lord with
cheerful voice.
Him serve with fear,
His praise forth tell;
Come ye before Him and rejoice.

ALL PEOPLE THAT ON EARTH DO DWELL
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.

ALL PEOPLE THAT ON EARTH DO DWELL
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.

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.

ALL PEOPLE THAT ON EARTH DO DWELL
To Father, Son and Holy Ghost,
The God whom heaven and
earth adore,
From men and from the angel host
Be praise and glory evermore.
