Religion

Psalm 100

by John White 1575–1648

From Davids Psalms in Metre (1655)

Religion

ALL people that on earth do dwell,
sing to the Lord with cheerful noise.
The Lord with gladnesse serve, and come
before his face with singing voice.
Know ye the Lord our God in deed,
without our aid he did us make,
We are his flock, he doth us feed,
and for his sheep he doth us take.

O enter with thanksgiving then
his gates, come to his Courts with praise.
And be ye thankful unto him,
and blesse his holy name alwaies.
Because 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.
