This tune is known as "Old Hundredth" because it's always been associated with this text, which is a 1500s paraphrase of Psalm 100. It's recognizably modern English, but there's a lot of twisting word order to fit the rhyme. "his praise forth tell," "he did us make," "approach with joy his courts unto" "it is seemly so to do." There are also some big tenor/bass gaps.
