From all that dwell below the skies

Let the Creator's praise arise:

Let the Redeemer's Name be sung

Through ev'ry land, by ev'ry tongue.

Eternal are Thy mercies Lord;

Eternal truths attend Thy word:

Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore,

Till suns shall rise and set no more.

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;

Praise Him, all creatures here below;

Praise Him, above, ye heav'nly host,

Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

From Greenland's icy mountains,

From India's coral strand,

Where Afric's sunny fountains

Roll down their golden sand;

From many an ancient river,

From many a palmy plain

They call us to deliver

Their land from error's chain.

What though the spicy breezes

Blow soft o'er Java's isle,

Though every prospect pleases,

And only man is vile;

In vain with lavish kindness,

The gifts of God are strown;

The heathen, in his blindness,

Bows down to wood and stone.
