"Words by William Kethe, 1561, paraphrase of Psalm 100, with four stanzas. This tune was called '''''Wells''''' from 1750. It has appeared, with a variety of words and arrangements, in at least 400 tunebooks since 1722 (two every three years over that time); and in America since 1761. Notably, it appeared in ''Kentucky Harmony'' in 1816, ''Wyeth's Repository of Sacred Music'' in 1816, and Allen Carden's ''Missouri Harmony'' in 1820. It appeared in ''The Sacred Harp (1844)'' (page 28) from 1844 to the present, and ''Southern Harmony'' (page 278) from 1847, both with Isaac Watts' words, ''Life is the time to serve the Lord''."
