The Martins All people that on earth do dwell- Gaithers.mpg

[chordsofcolor]

I love the lady at 0:08 that says "SANG YALL!" That was so funny.

[davetheo1]

after hearing this version from the Martins a few years back when I was in Law school, it became my favourite hymn, even when it's sung in my language, which is Fijian, as it is the 2nd Hymn in the Fijian Hymn Book

@MyJames74

The lyrics are from the Scottish Psalter of 1650 which is a singable paraphrase of the Psalms There are 5 verses. Here are the first two

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.

@globalnettuber Here are verses 3-4

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.

[globalnettuber]

@globalnettuber And here is verse 5: 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.

[globalnettuber]

@MyJames74 It is from a very old Scottish paraphrase of Psalm 100. The tune is called "Old One Hundredth". I have posted the original lyrics for you. The Martins have opted to use more modern language in just a couple of spots. The singers here also blend in the Doxology since it is usually sung to the same tune in churches today.
