KETHE, William

All People That on Earth Do Dwell

All people that on earth do dwell,

Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice;

Him serve with love, his praise forth tell,

Come we before him, and rejoice.

Know that the Lord is God indeed;

Without our aid he did us make;

We are his folk, he does us feed,

And for his sheep he does us take.

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.

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.

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;

Praise God, all creatures here below;

Praise God the Father, God the Son,

And God the Spirit, ever one.
