Product Description
The Old Hundredth psalm/hymn tune earned its name from its association with a metrical setting of Psalm 100 by William Kethe (d. 1594), published in the Anglo-Genevan Psalter (1591). Kethes first stanza, based on Psalm 100, verses 1-2, reads:
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.
Thus, the Old Hundredth is popularly titled, All People That on Earth Do Dwell. It is also well-known as the tune for the doxology, Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow. The tune is attributed to the French music theorist and composer Louis Bourgeois (c. 1510-1559), who contributed a number of tunes to the Genevan Psalter of 1551.
This arrangement is fitting as a short introit to a service of worship.
