All The Earth Proclaim The Lord

"All the Earth Proclaim the Lord" is a joyful, energetic setting of Psalm 100, widely sung in Catholic parishes across Nigeria. With its bright rhythm and inviting lyrics, it is a natural choice for the Entrance procession, calling the congregation to begin Mass with gladness and thanksgiving.

For a choir director, this piece is a reliable staple. The antiphon is simple and easily picked up by the assembly, making it perfect for a grand entrance where the whole church joins their voices together. As the choir takes the lead on the verses, they walk through the familiar, comforting imagery of God as our Creator and us as the sheep of His green pasture.

The hymn builds a sense of communal worship right from the first note. The final verse concludes with a classic doxology to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, wrapping up the procession and preparing the altar for the liturgy to begin.
