- 1Ye nations round the earth, rejoice
- Before the Lord, your sovereign King;
- Serve Him with cheerful heart and voice,
- With all your tongues His glory sing.
- 2The Lord is God, ’tis He alone
- Doth life and breath and being give;
- We are His work, and not our own,
- The sheep that on His pastures live.
- 3Enter His gates with songs of joy,
- With praises to His courts repair;
- And make it your divine employ
- To pay your thanks and honors there.
- 4The Lord is good, the Lord is kind;
- Great is His grace, His mercy sure;
- And all the race of man shall find
- His truth from age to age endure.
