LyicsFrom all that dwell below the skies,
Let the Creator's praise arise,
Let the Redeemer's name be sung,
Through, ev'ry land by every tongue.
Eternal are thy mercies, Lord,
Eternal truth attends thy word,
Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore,
Till suns shall rise and set no more.
Your lofty themes, ye mortals, bring,
In songs of praise divinely sing;
The great salvation loud proclaim,
And shout for joy the Saviour's name.
In ev'ry land begin the song;
To ev'ry land the songs belong;
In cheerful sounds all voices raise,
And fill the world with loudest praise.
Let angels too, their songs unite,
In the blest fields of brilliant light;
And seraphs join to speak his praise
In nobler sounds than mortals raise.
To adore the Lamb upon the throne,
And make his great salvation known;
To speak the honors of his name,
And all his boundless love proclaim.
