I. Psalm 100
1650 Scottish Psalter
(L.M. 8.8.8.8)

1 All people that on earth do dwell,
Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice.
2 Him serve with mirth, His praise forth tell,
Come ye before Him and rejoice.

3 Know that the Lord is God indeed;
Without our aid He did us make:
We are His flock, He doth us feed,
And for His sheep He doth us take.

4 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.

5 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.
