Author: William Kethe, ca. -1594 Hymnal: Hymns for a Pilgrim People #8 (2007) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Psalm 100 Lyrics: 1 All people that on earth do dwell,
Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice;
Serve Him with mirth, His praise forth tell,
Come ye before Him and rejoice.
2 The Lord, ye know, is God indeed;
Without our aid He did us make;
We are His flock, 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 forever sure;
His truth at all times firmly stood,
And shall from age to age endure.
5 To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
The God whom heav'n and earth adore,
From earth and from the angel host
Be praise and glory evermore.
Amen. Topics: Adoration and Praise; Assurance; Church; Creation; God the Father; Joy; Opening of Worship; Providence; Shepherd; World Music; Service Languages: English Tune Title: OLD HUNDREDTH
