Christian Hymns ‎#41

41. Ye nations round the earth, rejoice

1 Ye nations round the earth, rejoice
Before the Lord, your sovereign King;
Serve Him with cheerful heart and voice,
With all your tongues His glory sing.

2 The Lord is God, ’tis He alone
Doth life and breath and being give;
We are His work, and not our own,
The sheep that on His pastures live.

3 Enter His gates with songs of joy,
With praises to His courts repair;
And make it your divine employ
To pay your thanks and honors there.

4 The Lord is good, the Lord is kind;
Great is His grace, His mercy sure;
And all the race of man shall find
His truth from age to age endure.
