1 Make a joyful shout to the LORD, all you lands!
2 Serve the LORD with gladness;
Come before His presence with singing.
3 Know that the LORD, He is God;
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
5 For the LORD is good;
His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations.
Psalm 100:1-5; New King James Version
It may just be me, but I associate Psalm 100 with Thanksgiving. It is a nice joyful song, and encourages us to enter His gates with thanksgiving.
One side note - the hymn "All People That On Earth Do Dwell" takes its lyrics from this Psalm. I love the last verse of that hymn, which mirrors the final verse of this Psalm:
"For why? The Lord our God is good;
His mercy is forever sure;
His truth at all times firmly stood
And shall from age to age endure."
The name of the tune for the song is "Old 100th," referring to the Psalm. You might not be familiar with the above hymn or the tune's name, but it's the tune of the doxology ("Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow").
