The strain upraise of joy and praise, Alle - lu - ia! To the glory of their King shall the ransomed

And the choirs that dwell on high || Shall re-echo | through the sky | Alle- | luia || Alleluia!

They in the rest of Para- | dise who dwell || The blessed ones with joy the chorus swell || Alle- | luia || Alle- | luia!

The planets beaming on their | heavenly way || The shining_constellations | join and say || Alle- | luia || Alle- | luia!

Ye clouds that onward sweep, ye winds on | pinions light || Ye thunders echoing loud and deep, ye lightnings | wildly bright || In sweet con- | sent unite || Your Alle- | luia!

Ye floods and ocean billows, ye storms and | winter snow || Ye days of cloudless beauty, hoar-frost and summer glow | Ye groves that wave in spring, and glorious | forests sing || Alle- | luia!

First let the birds with painted | plumage gay || Exalt their great Creator's | praise and say || Alle- | luia || Alle- | luia!

Then let the beasts of earth with varying strain || Join in creation's hymn and | cry again || Alle- | luia || Alle- | luia!

Here let the mountains thunder forth so- | norous || Alle- | luia || There let the valleys sing in gentler | chorus || Alle- | luia!

Thou jubilant abyss of ocean cry || Alle- | luia || Ye tracts of earth and conti- | nents reply | Alle- | luia!

To God, who all cre- | ation made || The frequent hymn be duly paid || Alle- | luia || Alle- | luia!

This is the strain, the eternal strain the Lord Al- | mighty loves || Alle- | luia || This is the song, the heavenly song that Christ the King approves || Alle- | luia!

Wherefore we sing, both heart and voice a- | waking || Alle- | luia || And children's voices, echo answer | making || Alle- | luia!

Now from all men | be outpoured || Alleluia to the Lord || With Alleluia | evermore || The Son and Spirit we adore.

Praise be done to the Three in One || Alle- | luia || Alle- | luia || Alle- | luia || Amen.

All People that on Earth do Dwell

The Old 100th L. M.

LOUIS BOURGEOIS

1. All people that on earth do dwell, Sing to the Lord with cheer-ful voice;

Him serve with fear, His praise forth tell, Come ye be-fore Him, and re-joice. A-men.

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.

3

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.

4

For why, the Lord our God is good;

His mercy is for ever sure;

His truth at all times firmly stood,

And shall from age to age endure. Amen.

WILLIAM KETHE

Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow!
Praise Him, all creatures here below!
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host!
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.
