    Penned this last Advent. Long meter - Iambic 8.8.8.8 - and should work for both Latin and English.

    Presented here in two texts, one by our own Adam Michael Wood and the other for an office hymn for the apostles.

    Let me know if you'd like it set to another text; alternatively you can take the GABC and do it yourself.

    I'd welcome ideas for naming the tune; I'm not good at that sort of thing.

    (c3)Let(e) all(ef) on (g) earth(h) their(g) voic-(f) es(f) raise,(e.) (,)
    Re-(e)sound-(ei)ing(i) heav(ij) en's(i) joy(hg)-ful(h) praise(i.) (;)
    To(gh) God, (f) who(e) gave(gh) theˍa-(i) pos(hg)-tles(fe) grace(f.) (,)
    To(f) run(ffgh) on(g) earth(fe) their(d) glo-(fgf)rious(f) race.(e.) (::)

    c3 e ef g h g f f e. ,
    e ei i ij i hg h i. ;
    gh f e gh i hg fe f. ,
    f ffgh g fe d fgf f e. ::

    This is an incredibly singable, inspired tune, and it fits perfectly with Adam's text.

    At the risk of being overly presumptive, might I suggest for the tune name "Ancient Roots"?
