O all ye peo­ples, bless our God,
Aloud pro­claim His praise,
Who safe­ly holds our souls in life,
And stead­fast makes our ways.
Thou, Lord, hast proved and test­ed us
As sil­ver tried by fire;
Thy hand has made our bur­den great
And thwart­ed our de­sire.

Through pain and trou­ble Thou hast led,
And hum­bled all our pride;
But, in the end, to li­ber­ty
And wealth Thy hand did guide.
Here in Thy house I give to Thee
The life that Thou dost bless,
And pay the so­lemn vows I made
When I was in dis­tress.

Come, ye that fear the Lord, and hear
What He has done for me;
My cry for help is turned to praise,
For He has set me free.
If in my heart I sin re­gard,
My pray­er He will not hear;
But tru­ly God has heard my voice,
My pray­er has reached His ear.

O let the Lord, our gra­cious God,
Forever bless­èd be,
Who has not turned my pray­er from Him,
Nor yet His grace from me.
O all ye peo­ples, bless our God,
Aloud pro­claim His praise,
Who safe­ly holds our souls in life,
And stead­fast makes our ways.
