All ye who on this earth do dwell

Lyrics

  1. All ye who on this earth do dwell,
    Give thanks and glorify
    The Lord whose praises ever swell
    In seraph songs on high.
  2. Lift up your hearts in praise to God,
    Himself best Gift of all,
    Who works His wonders all abroad,
    Upholding great and small.
  3. Since first our life began to be,
    He has preserved our frame;
    And when man's strength was vanity,
    He as our Helper came.
  4. Though often we His patience try
    And well deserve His frown,
    In grace He lays His anger by
    And pours new blessings down.
  5. 'Tis He revives our fainting soul,
    Gives joyful hearts to men;
    And when great waves of trouble roll,
    He drives them back again.
  6. May He adorn with precious peace
    Our own, our native, land
    And crown with joys that never cease
    The labors of our hand!
  7. Long as we tarry here below
    Our saving Health is He;
    And when from earth to heaven we go,
    May He our portion be!
