Let all the world in every corner sing

10 Let all the world in every corner sing

1 Let all the world in every corner sing,
   "My God and King!"
   The heav'ns are not too high,
   God's praise may thither fly;
   the earth is not too low,
   God's praises there may grow.
   Let all the world in every corner sing,
   "My God and King!"

2 Let all the world in every corner sing,
   "My God and King!"
   The church with psalms must shout:
   no door can keep them out.
   But, more than all, the heart
   must bear the longest part.
   Let all the world in every corner sing,
   "My God and King!"
                         George Herbert
