Ye 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.

The 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.

Enter 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.

The Lord is good, the Lord is kind;
Great is His grace, His mer­cy sure;
And the whole race of man shall find
His truth from age to age en­dure.
