LSB #791 "All People That on Earth Do Dwell"

Biblical citation in the hymnal:  Psalm 100

Psalm 100:  "1 Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth!  2 Serve the LORD with gladness!  Come into his presence with singing!

"3 Know that the LORD, he is God!  It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.  4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name!

"5 For the LORD is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations."

The text is public domain:
1 All people that on earth do dwell,
Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice.
Him serve with mirth, His praise forthtell;
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.

5 To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
The God whom heav'n and earth adore,
From us and from the angel host
Be praise and glory evermore.

The hymn text basically just paraphrases Psalm 100.  The hymn's first verse comes from verses 1-2; the second verse from verse 3; the third verse from verse 4; and the fourth verse from verse 5.
