1. Now let all loudly
   Sing praise to God the Lord;
   Christendom, proudly
   Laud Him with one accord.
   Gently He bids thee come before Him;
   Haste, then, O Israel, now adore Him;
   Haste, then, O Israel, now adore Him.

2. For the Lord reigneth
   Over the universe,
   All He sustaineth,
   All things His praise rehearse,
   The angel host His glory telling,
   Psalter and harp are the anthem swelling;
   Psalter and harp are the anthem swelling.

3. Come, heathen races,
   Cast off all grief and care,
   For pleasant places
   Your Savior doth prepare,
   Where His blest Word abroad is sounded,
   Pardon for sinners and grace unbounded,
   Pardon for sinners and grace unbounded.

4. Richly He feeds us
   Always and ev’rywhere;
   Gently He leads us
   With a true Father’s care;
   The late and early rains He sends us,
   Daily His blessing, His love, attends us,
   Daily His blessing, His love, attends us.

5. Sing we His praises
   Who is thus merciful;
   Christendom raises
   Songs to His glorious rule.
   Rejoice! No foe shall now alarm us;
   He will protect us, and who can harm us?
   He will protect us, and who can harm us?

Nun preiset alle Gottes Barmherzigkeit
