All People That on Earth Do Dwell

Words by William KetheMusic by Louis BourgeoisWritten Tune OLD HUNDREDTH

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.

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.

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 forever sure;
His truth at all times firmly stood,
And shall from age to age endure.

To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
The God whom heaven and earth adore,
From men and from the angel host
Be praise and glory evermore.

Story Behind the Song

This metrical setting of Psalm 100 was written by William Kethe, an English Reformation-era psalm versifier, and appeared in the Anglo-Genevan Psalter of 1561. It became one of the most widely sung English psalm paraphrases, especially with the tune OLD HUNDREDTH from the Genevan Psalter, traditionally attributed to Louis Bourgeois. The final doxological stanza is commonly appended in hymnals and helped establish the hymn as a standard processional and festival hymn.
