Author: William Kethe, d. c. 1593; Thomas Ken, 1637-1711 Hymnal: RitualSong #849 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Dedication of a Church Lyrics: 1 All people that on earth do dwell,
Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice;
Him serve with mirth, his praise forth tell,
Come we before him, and rejoice.
2 Know that the Lord is God indeed;
Without our aid he did us make;
We are his folk, he does us feed,
And for his sheep he does us take.
3 O enter then his gates with praise;
Approach with joy his courts unto;
Praise, laud, and bless his Name always,
For it is seemly so to do.
4 For why? the Lord our God is good:
His mercy is for ever sure;
His truth at all times firmly stood,
And shall from age to age endure.
5 To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
The God whom heaven and earth adore,
From us and from the angel host
Be praise and glory evermore.
*Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise him, all creatures here below;
Praise him above, you heavn'ly host:
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
