At the end of the Lyrics section, the sentence, "The hymn All People Than On Earth Do Dwell, a paraphrasing of Psalm 117 by Isaac Watts ...", appears to be inaccurate (as well as containing a minor misspelling). In this very article, All People That On Earth Do Dwell is identified as a paraphrase of Psalm 100, attributed to William Kethe. (And it is common knowledge that All People is based on Psalm 100. Even a cursory reading of the hymn and Psalm bear this out.) Perhaps a different hymn by Watts, paraphrasing Psalm 117 is meant. Earlier versions of this article had Praise to God by Watts here instead of All People ...

I don't know the correct substitute, so I won't make the edit, but it seems this sentence must be mistaken. I am, however tempted to just strike the sentence, since, in it's current form, it appears it must be inaccurate.
