PRAISE OF GOD.

ALL people that on earth do dwell,

L.M.

Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice; Him serve with mirth, His praise forth tell, Come ye before Him and rejoice.

2 Know ye, the Lord is God indeed;

Without our aid He did us make;
We are His flock, He doth us feed;

And for His sheep He doth 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.

Sun and moon bright,
Night and noonlight,
Starry temples azure-floored;

Cloud and rain, and wild wind's madness,
Sons of God that shout for gladness,
Praise ye, praise ye, God the Lord!

Ocean hoary,

Tell His glory,

Cliffs, where tumbling seas have roared! Pulse of waters, blithely beating,

Wave advancing, wave retreating,
Praise ye, praise ye, God the Lord!

Rock and high land,
Wood and island,

Crag, where eagle's pride hath soared; Mighty mountains, purple-breasted, Peaks cloud-cleaving, snowy-crested, Praise ye, praise ye, God the Lord!

Rolling river,

Praise Him ever,

From the mountain's deep vein poured;
Silver fountain, clearly gushing,

Troubled torrent, madly rushing,
Praise ye, praise ye, God the Lord!

Bond and free man,

Land and sea man,

Earth, with peoples widely stored,
Wanderer lone o'er prairies ample,
Full-voiced choir, in costly temple,
Praise ye, praise ye, God the Lord!

Praise Him ever,

Bounteous Giver;

Praise Him, Father, Friend, and Lord!
