Hymns for Youth ‎#7

7. 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.
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.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia!

3. Eternal are thy mercies, Lord;
Eternal truth attends thy word:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore,
Till suns shall rise and set no more.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia!
