This is a song by Israel Houghton, although this is a cover.

Oh, Lord you are good. Sing:

MERCY= Compassionate treatment, especially of those under one's power; clemency.

ENDURETH= (old fashioned, poetical or biblical) Endures.
In old English the third person singular ended in –ETH /ɪθ/ not in –S.
To endure is to last or continue to exist. ENDURETH FOREVER= Never ends.

TONGUE= /tʌŋ/ Language.

HALLELUJAH= An exclamation of praise, from ancient Hebrew meaning “praise ye Yahve” (= praise to the Lord). Also used as a cry of joy to express jubilation or also to express worship.

SCAN AROUND= Watch from the outside without participating.

GET INVOLVED= Participate.
This construction is a passive voice. In colloquial English it is very common to make the passive voice with the verb GET instead of BE:
- I got bumped by an old lady = I was bumped by an old lady

WORSHIP= To regard with ardent or adoring esteem or devotion. To love with all your heart (especially God, but also a loved one).

ALL THE TIME= Always.

The song is based on a Bible poem from the Book of Psalms:

For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
Psalm 100:5 (King James Bible)

See the entire psalm 100


And then the expression "people from every nation and tongue" is very common in Christian language to refer to everybody in the world (people from all the countries and speaking all languages), for example in this prayer:

Gratefully and gladly, we come into this house of praises, most loving God. We come to join our voices with all those who have welcomed the call of Christ.
With people from every nation and tongue, a wave of joy linking earth and heaven in one congregation, we take our place with thanksgiving.
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful are you, Creator, Redeemer and Counsellor! Heaven and earth are full of your glory! Glory be to you, O God most high!
Amen!
