1. Let all the world
in every corner sing:
my God and King!
The heavens are not too high,
his praise may thither fly;
the earth is not too low,
his 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:

The church with psalms must shout;
no door can keep them out,
but, above all, the heart
must bear the longest part.
Let all the world
in every corner sing:
my God and King!
