Sunday Hymn: All People that on Earth do Dwell

Trinity Hymnal, #1
Psalm 100
All people that on earth do dwell,
Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice;
Him serve with fear, his praise forth-tell,
Come ye before him and rejoice.
The Lord ye know 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.
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.
For why? the Lord our God is good,
His mercy is for ever sure;
His truth at all times firmly stood,
And shall from age to age endure.

An incidental bit of trivia for you: I happened to notice as I was publishing this hymn that the post has exactly 100 words in it. The hymn is based on Psalm 100, and sung to the tune of 'Old Hundredth.'
