Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9970 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Fall down, ye nations! and adore Lyrics: 1 Fall down, ye nations! and adore
Jehovah on the mercy-seat;
Like prostrate seas on every shore
That cast their billows at your feet.
2 Let hallelujahs to the skies,
With ocean’s everlasting sound,
The voice of many waters, rise
Day without night, as time goes round.
3 Come from the East with gifts, ye kings!
With gold, and frankincense, and myrrh;
Where’er the morning spreads her wings,
Let man to God his vows prefer.
4 Come from the West! the bond, the free;
His easy service make your choice;
Ye isles of the Pacific sea,
Like halcyon nests, in God rejoice.
5 Come from the South! through desert sands
A highway for the Lord prepare;
Let Ethiopia stretch her hands
And Libya pour her soul in prayer.
6 Come from the North! let Europe raise
In all her languages one song;
Give God the glory, power and praise,
That to His holy name belong. Languages: English Tune Title: HARROW
Fall Down, Ye Nations!
