All People That Dn Earth do Dwell

Words: William Kethe, late 16th century
Music: Lou­is Bour­geois, 1551

Stanza 1:

All people that on earth do dwell,

Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice,

Him serve with fear, His praise forthtell;

Come ye before Him and rejoice.

Stanza 2:

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.

Stanza 3:

Oh, 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.

Stanza 4:

For why? The Lord, our God, is good;

His mercy is forever sure.

His truth at all times firmly stood

And shall from age to age endure.

Stanza 5:

To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,

To God whom heaven and earth adore,

From men and from the angel host

Be praise and glory evermore.

Vous, qui sur la terre habitez,
Chantez à haute voix, chantez;
Réjouissez-vous au Seigneur,
Par un saint hymne à Son honneur.

Sachez qu’Il est le Souverain,
Qu’Il nous a formés de Sa main,
Nous, le peuple qu’Il veut chérir,
Et le troupeau qu’Il veut nourrir.

Entrez dans Son temple aujourd’hui;
Prosternez-vous tous devant Lui;
Et, de concert avec les cieux,
Célébrez Son Nom glorieux.

C’est un Dieu rempli de bonté,
D’une éternelle vérité,
Toujours propice à nos souhaits,
Et Sa grâce dure à jamais.
