1. Ye nations of the earth rejoice
   Before the Lord, your sovereign King;
   Serve him with cheerful heart and voice,
   With all your tongues his glory sing.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.
