The New Century Hymnal ‎#7

7. All People That on Earth Do Dwell

1 All people that on earth do dwell,
sing to the Lord with cheerful voice;
Delight in God whose praise you tell,
whose presence calls you to rejoice.

2 Know that there is one God, indeed,
who fashions us without our aid,
Who claims us, gives us all we need,
whose tender care will never fade.

3 Enter the sacred gates with praise,
with joy approach the temple walls.
Extol and bless our God always
as people whom the Spirit calls.

4 Proclaim again that God is good,
whose mercy is forever sure,
Whose truth at all times firmly stood,
and shall from age to age endure.
