The heavens with God's praise resound;
It reaches earth's remotest bound,
Wheree'er our gaze is wending.
Blest is the country, blest the clime.
To which the Word of Life sublime
Its light and truth is sending.
Truthful, joyful, heart renewing,
Sin subduing, Comfort spending,
To the soul its glory lending.

Though all this world should pass away,
The truthful Word of God will stay.
It gives us bread from heaven,
Illuminates our earthly course,
Of strength and courage is the source.
The humble now are given
Knowledge, wisdom; Earth relenteth;
Faith ascendeth pure, immortal,
Out of death to heaven's portal.

All honor to our Saviour's name!
His everlasting gospel's fame
Throughout the earth resoundeth.
On angel's wings it swiftly flies,
With voice and accent sweetly cries,
"Redemption now aboundeth."
Amen! Amen! Invitations
To all nations God has given.
Through Him earth is turned to heaven.
