Words by F.P. Nickel, Music by Rachel Bontrager
Enter the gates of the Lord with thanksgiving,
come into His courts with praise!
Serve Him with gladness and sing in His presence;
voices in glad anthems raise.
For all that we have has been given
by grace of our Maker above;
we dare claim no merit, nor credit—
our boast is His power and love.
Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness;
honour His name (oh, honour His name).
For we are the sheep of His pasture,
come into His courts with praise!
Enter the gates of the Lord with thanksgiving,
come into His courts with praise!
Bless thou the Lord and forget not my soul
His benefits all of thy days.
Redeeming thy life from destruction—
forgiving iniquities great,
and healing thee of thy diseases—
how happy and blissful thy state!
Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness;
honour His name (oh, honour His name).
For we are the sheep of His pasture,
come into His courts with praise!
Enter the gates of the Lord with thanksgiving,
come into His courts with praise!
Glory resplendent declared by the heav’ns,
His pow’r by the sun and its rays.
Beholding the stars and the planets—
the earth and the universe plan,
I cannot contain awe and wonder,
that He should be mindful of man.
Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness;
honour His name (oh, honour His name).
For we are the sheep of His pasture,
come into His courts with praise!
