1 Al Verden nu raabe for herren med Fryd:
Lovet være Gud!
Træd frem for hans Ansigt med Sang og Jubellyd;
Guds Menighed love nu Herren!

2 Kom, kjend Gud, din Herre, du Intet selv formaar,–
Lovet være Gud!
Han, han har dig gjort til sit Folk og Fødes Faar;
Guds Menighed love nu Herren!

3 Gaar ind ad hans Porte med Lov og Takkesang,–
Lovet være Gud!
Velsigner, høilover evindelig hans navn;
Guds Menighed love nu Herren!

4 Guds godhed og Miskundhed er ny i Evighed,
Lovet være Gud!
Fra Slegt og til Slegt skal hans Sandhed vare ved;
Guds Menighed love nu Herren!
