440. 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 ev'ry land, by ev'ry tongue.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

2 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.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

3 All praise to God the Father be,
All praise, eternal Son, to thee;
Alleluia, alleluia!
Whom with the Spirit we adore
Forever and forevermore:
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
