Ye Nations Round the Earth, Rejoice

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.
