551. From All That Dwell Below the Skies

1 From all that dwell below the skies
let the Creator’s praise arise;
let the Redeemer’s name be sung
through every land, by every tongue.

2 Eternal are your mercies, Lord;
eternal truth attends your word:
your praise shall sound from shore to shore
till suns shall rise and set no more.

3 Your lofty themes, all mortals, bring;
in songs of praise divinely sing;
the great salvation loud proclaim,
and shout for joy the Savior's name.

4 In every land begin the song;
to every land the strains belong;
in cheerful sound all voices raise,
and fill the world with loudest praise.
