Come All Ye People

ALL PEOPLE THAT ON EARTH DO DWELL

by

William Kethe

All peo­ple that on earth do dwell,

Sing to the Lord with cheer­ful voice.

Him serve with fear, His praise forth tell;

Come ye be­fore Him and re­joice.

The Lord, ye know, is God in­deed;

Without our aid He did us make;

We are His folk, He doth us feed,

And for His sheep He doth us take.

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.

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.

To Fa­ther, Son and Ho­ly Ghost,

The God whom Heav­en and earth ad­ore,

From men and from the an­gel host

Be praise and glo­ry ev­er­more.
