SDA Hymnal 89
Let All on Earth Their Voices Raise
Words: Isaac WattsMusic: [unclear]Tune: Old 124th10.10.10.10
1Let all on earth their voices raise,
To sing the great Jehovah's praise,
And bless His holy name;
His glory let the people know,
His wonders to the nations show,
His saving grace proclaim.
2He framed the globe; He built the sky;
He made the shining worlds on high,
And reigns in glory there;
His beams are majesty and light;
His beauties, how divinely bright!
His dwelling place, how fair!
3Come, the great day, the glorious hour,
When earth shall feel His saving power,
All nations fear His name;
Then shall the race of men confess
The beauty of His holiness,
His saving grace proclaim.
