373. From All That Dwell Below the Skies

1 From all that dwell below the skies
Let the Creator's praise arise:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Let the Redeemer's name be sung
Through every land, in every tongue.

[Refrain:]
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia! Alleluia!

2 In every land begin the song,
To every land the strains belong:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
In cheerful sound all voices raise
And fill the world with joyful praise. [Refrain]

3 Eternal are your mercies, Lord;
Eternal truth attends your word:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Your praise shall sound from shore to shore,
Till suns shall rise and set no more. [Refrain]

Amen.
