3. All People That on Earth Do Dwell

1 All people that on earth do dwell,
Sing unto God with cheerful voice
Glad service give, God's praise forthtell,
Come now before God and rejoice.

2 God our Creator is indeed;
Not we; it was God did us make.
We are the flock whom God doth feed,
And into pleasant pastures take.

3 O enter then God's gates with praise;
Approach with joy God's courts unto;
Praise, laud, and bless God's name always,
For it is seemly so to do.

4 Sing praises for our God is good
Whose mercy is for ever sure;
Whose truth at all time firmly stood,
And shall from age to age endure.
