From All That Dwells below the Skies

Lyrics

1. 1. From all that dwell below the skies,

   Let the Creator’s praise arise;

   Let the Redeemer’s name be sung

   Through ev’ry land, by ev’ry tongue.

2. 2. In ev’ry land begin the song;

   To ev’ry land the strains belong.

   In cheerful sounds all voices raise

   And fill the world with loudest praise.

3. 3. Your lofty themes, ye mortals, bring;

   In songs of praise divinely sing.

   The great salvation loud proclaim,

   And shout for joy the Savior’s name.

4. 4. 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.

Text: Isaac Watts, 1674–1748
