Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A metrical paraphrase of Psalm 100 written by William Kethe around 1561 and published in the Anglo-Genevan Psalter, paired with Louis Bourgeois's iconic OLD 100TH tune. One of the oldest English-language hymns still in regular Christian worship worldwide.
Verse 1
All people that
on earth do dwell,
sing to the Lord
with cheerful voice.
Him serve with mirth,
his praise forth tell;
come ye before him
and rejoice.
Verse 2
Know that the Lord
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.
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
