Gathering | Introit (Psalm 100)

Cry out with joy to the Lord, all the earth
Serve the Lord with gladness
Cry out with joy to the Lord, all the earth
Come before Him, singing for joy

Know that He, the Lord, is God
He made us
We belong to Him
And we are His people
The sheep of His flock
The sheep of His flock

Cry out with joy to the Lord, all the earth
Serve the Lord with gladness
Cry out with joy to the Lord, all the earth
Come before Him, singing for joy

Go within His gates, giving thanks
Enter His courts with songs of praise
Give thanks to Him
And bless His name
And bless His name

[Modulate]

Cry out with joy to the Lord, all the earth
Serve the Lord with gladness
Cry out with joy to the Lord, all the earth
Come before Him, singing for joy

Indeed, how good is the Lord
Eternal, His merciful love
And He is faithful
From age to age
From age to age

[Modulate]

Cry out with joy to the Lord, all the earth
Serve the Lord with gladness
Cry out with joy to the Lord, all the earth
Come before Him, singing for joy
Come before Him, singing for joy
Come before Him, singing for joy!
