By every nation, race and tongue
From Oremus Hymnal
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!
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!
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!
