By every nation, race and tongue

1) By every nation, race and tongue,
Worship and praise be ever sung;
Praise the Father: Alleluia!
For pardoned sin, death overcome,
And hopes that live beyond the tomb:
Alleluia, alleluia;
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

2) Saints who on earth have suffered long,
For Jesus’ sake enduring wrong,
Ever-faithful: Alleluia!
Where faith is lost in sight, rejoice
And sing with never-wearied voice:
Alleluia, alleluia;
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

3) Let earth and air and sea unite
To celebrate His glorious might,
Their Creator: Alleluia!
Sun, moon and stars in endless space
Echo the song of every race:
Alleluia, alleluia;
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
