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
