Psalm 100 All People That on Earth Do Dwell

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.

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.

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.
