"All People That on Earth Do Dwell" is a hymn that was composed by the New English Hymnal. The hymn was first published in 1561 and has since become one of the most popular hymns in the world. The hymn is typically sung to the tune of "Old Hundredth," which was composed by Louis Bourgeois in the 16th century. The hymn is divided into four movements, each of which has its own unique characteristics. The first movement is a call to worship, inviting all people on earth to praise God. The second movement is a declaration of God's greatness and power, emphasizing the idea that God is the creator of all things. The third movement is a prayer for God's mercy and grace, asking for forgiveness and guidance. The final movement is a doxology, a hymn of praise to God. The hymn's characteristics include its simplicity and accessibility. The lyrics are easy to understand and the melody is easy to sing, making it a popular choice for congregational singing. The hymn's message of universal praise and worship also makes it a popular choice for ecumenical services. The hymn has been performed and recorded by countless artists and choirs over the years, and has become a staple of Christian worship around the world. Its enduring popularity is a testament to the power of its message and the beauty of its melody.
