SAB and organ. Taken from an anonymous Renaissance motet —  joyful, polyphonic setting of Psalm 100, alternating between duple and triple meter. Fun to sing, and a delightful introduction into Renaissance choral music. Just right for your smaller choir!

Lyrics

O, make a joyful noise unto the Lord,
O, make a joyful noise all you lands.
O, serve the Lord with gladness;
Serve and come into God’s presence with a song.

Know you the Lord is our God.
Know you the Lord has made us and not we ourselves.

Come enter His gates with thanksgiving.
And into His courts with praise.
Alleluia!
