Psalm 100 is the source for the short doxological hymn “Praise
God from whom all blessings flow” that is one of Calvary member David Larsen’s
most treasured traditions. You might have experienced it at one or more church gatherings
where even the musically challenged manage to turn the final Ah-ah-ah-ah-men
into respectable harmony. That’s not bad considering the psalm harmonizes God’s
presence with our existence despite the transitory nature of our lives. We are
God’s people, the sheep of God’s pasture, destined to come into eternal courts
with songs of thanksgiving. The singing of the “Old 100th” at church potlucks anticipates
the feast that lasts forever which is a good reason to make a joyful noise today.
