All people that on earth do dwell, Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice, Him serve with , his praise forthtell, Come ye before him and rejoice. |
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. |
| The Lord, ye know, 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. |
To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, The God whom heaven and earth adore. From earth and from the angel host Be praise and glory everymore. |
| 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. |

And all ye men of tender heart Forgiving others, take your part O sing ye, Alleluia! Ye who long pain and sorrow bear Praise God and on Him cast your care, O praise Him, O praise Him, Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia! |
| Thou rushing wind that art so strong, Ye clouds that sail in heav’n along, O praise Him, Alleluia! Thou rising morn in praise rejoice, Ye lights of evening, find a voice, O praise Him, O praise Him, Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia! |
Let all things their Creator bless, And worship Him in humbleness, O praise Him, Alleluia! Praise, praise the Father, praise the Son, And praise the Spirit, Three in One, O praise Him, O praise Him, Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia! |
Let Us Love and Sing and Wonder. Words (1774): John Newton (1725-1807), public domain. Music: Laura Taylor, © 2001. An old hymn set to new music. Track 11 on Indelible Grace 3: For All the Saints. Music available online in the RUF Hymnbook: Online Hymn Resource.
| Let us love and sing and wonder, Let us praise the Savior’s name! He has hushed the law’s loud thunder, He has quenched Mount Sinai’s flame. He has washed us with his blood, He has brought us nigh to God. |
Let us wonder! Grace and justice Join and point to mercy’s store; When through grace in Christ our trust is, Justice smiles and asks no more. He who washed us with his blood, Has secured our way to God. |
| Let us love the Lord who bought us, Pitied us when enemies, Called us by his grace and taught us, Gave us ears and gave us eyes. He has washed us with his blood, He presents our souls to God. |
Let us praise and join the chorus Of the saints enthroned on high; Here they trusted him before us, Now their praises fill the sky. “You have washed us with your blood; You are worthy, Lamb of God!” |
| Let us sing, though fierce temptation Threaten hard to bear us down! For the Lord, our strong salvation, Holds in view the conqu’ror’s crown. He who washed us with his blood, Soon will bring us home to God. |
Psalm 8 (NIV).
