LyicsYe 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: 't is 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.
