Earth, with All Thy Thousand Voices

Earth

with all thy thou­sand voic­es

Praise in songs th’eter­nal King;

Praise His name

whose praise re­joic­es

Ears that hear

and tongues that sing.

Lord

from each far-peo­pled dwell­ing

Earth shall raise the glad ac­claim;

All shall kneel

Thy great­ness tell­ing

Sing Thy praise and bless Thy name.

Come and hear the won­drous sto­ry

How our migh­ty God of old

In the ter­rors of His glo­ry

Back the flow­ing bil­lows rolled;

Walked with­in the threat­en­ing wa­ters

Free we passed the up­right wave

Then was joy to Is­ra­el’s daugh­ters

Loud they sang His pow­er to save.

Bless the Lord

who ev­er liv­eth;

Sound His praise through ev­ery land

Who our dy­ing souls re­viv­eth

By whose arm up­held we stand.

Now upon this cheer­ful mor­row

We Thine al­tars will adorn

And the gifts we vowed in sor­row

Pay on joy’s re­turn­ing morn.

Come

each faith­ful soul

who fear­est

Him who fills th’eter­nal throne:

Hear

re­joic­ing while thou hear­est

What our God for us hath done;

When we made our sup­pli­ca­tion

When our voice in pray­er was strong

Then we found His glad sal­va­tion;

And His mer­cy fills our tongue.
