1. Ye nations every where,
Of Jew, or Gentile, line,
To praise Jehovah's name,
With hearts, and voices join;
With sacred mirth,
His praise be sung,
By every tongue,
Throughout the earth.
2. Because his matchless grace,
In pity to us, flows;
The inexhausted store
No narrow Limits knows;
Jehovah's word
Shall still endure
Forever sure.
Praise ye the Lord.
