Text: William Kethe, 1561; based on Psalm 100

1 All people that on earth do dwell,

sing to the Lord with cheerful voice;

him serve with mirth, his praise forth tell,

come ye before him, and rejoice.

2 Know that the Lord is God indeed;

without our aid he did us make;

we are his folk, he doth us feed,

and for his sheep he doth us take.

3 O enter then his gates with praise,

approach with joy his courts unto;

praise, laud, and bless his name always,

for it is seemly so to do.

4 For why? The Lord our God is good;

his mercy is for ever sure;

his truth at all times firmly stood,

and shall from age to age endure.

5 To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,

the God whom heaven and earth adore,

from men and from the angel-host

be praise and glory evermore.
