Psalm C.

1

O all ye people every where,
In sweetest notes your voices raise:
Before the Lord with joy appear,
And sing aloud unto his praise.

2

Confess that he is God alone,
Who us without our help did make:
He freely chose us for his own,
And for his flock he did us take.

3

O enter then his gates with joy,
And in his courts his praise proclaim:

159

In giving thanks your tongues employ,
And ever bless his holy name.

4

Because the Lord is good and kind,
His mercies evermore endure:
His truth and promise all shall find,
From age to age most firm and sure.
