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.
Psalm 100 adapted by Wm. Kethe in 1561

Ha! I love that line "without our aid he did us make" Boy we need to be reminded of who God is and that we are not in control...
A great old hymn - how many millions have sung it since the sixteenth century, joining our voices with theirs!
There is a nice video of this hymn at:
