Verse 1

Musical scores are temporarily disabled.

From all that dwell below the skies,

Let the Creators praise arise;

Let the Redeemer's name be sung

Thro' every Land, by every tongue.

Eternal are thy mercies, Lord;

Eternal truth attend thy word:

Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore

Till sound shall rise and set no more.

A -men
