All People That on Earth Do Dwell

lyricist: William Kethe, 1561
Composer: Louis Bourgeois, 1551

All peo­ple that on earth do dwell

Sing to the Lord with cheer­ful voice.

Him serve with fear

His praise forth tell;

Come ye be­fore Him and re­joice.

The Lord

ye know

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.

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.

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.
