Praise God, from Whom All Blessings Flow
Psalm 100 · with Praise God, from Whom All Blessings Flow
Praise God, from Whom All Blessings Flow — the Doxology; Thomas Ken, 1674; tune OLD 100TH by Louis Bourgeois, 1551. Its root: Psalm 100, the psalm of the joyful noise, which the four lines paraphrase.
Ken’s doxology — the four lines every church knows by heart — over the short psalm beneath them: “Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.” A blessing-length piece, by nature. Sung by one voice, unaccompanied.
— or tap any verse to hear it from there.
Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.
Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
