Lyics

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 men shall find

His truth from age to age endure.
