Hymn Stories

IN THIS EPISODE: "All People That on Earth Do Dwell" by William Kethe (d. 1594)

The story of Old Hundredth begins in the Swiss city of Geneva, where many of the residents have spoken French instead of German over the centuries. In 1536 John Calvin arrived there to help with the Reformation. He knew that one of the best ways to waken the hearts of the people was to get them singing songs of faith. But Calvin’s severity and zeal quickly gained the attention and disapproval of the rulers and the people. And before he could implement any of his plans, he was banished.
