Original text and translations

English text

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.

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