Based on Ps. 117, here's a glorious 1719 hymn written by Isaac Watts:
From all that dwell below the skies
let the Creator's praise arise;
let the Redeemer's name be sung
through every land, by every tongue.
In every land begin the song;
to every land the strains belong.
In cheerful sound all voices raise
and fill the world with joyful praise.
Eternal are your mercies, Lord;
eternal truth attends your word.
Your praise shall sound from shore to shore
till the suns shall rise and set no more.
Your kingdom come, Lord! Hallowed be your name! Through every land, by every tongue, from shore to shore!
