| | | William Kethe ((?) circa 1562) |
| |
| |
| 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; | 5 |
| 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; | 10 |
| 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 forever sure; | |
| His truth at all times firmly stood, | 15 |
| And shall from age to age endure. | |
