Old 100th

There are few hymns as universally recognized and deeply felt as "All People That On Earth Do Dwell." Set to the venerable "Old 100th" melody, this piece is a cornerstone of our choral repertoire. When the choir strikes up the opening phrase during the entrance procession, it immediately calls the congregation to attention. The steady, majestic rhythm invites everyone to join in, setting a tone of solemn joy and reverence for the Mass.

The lyrics draw directly from Psalm 100, offering a clear and joyful invitation to worship. As we sing lines like "We are his folk, he doth us feed," we are reminded of God's providence and our shared identity as His flock. It is a wonderful hymn for unifying the voices in the pews with the choir loft. The arrangement builds steadily, culminating in a soaring final doxology to the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost that lifts the entire church in praise.
