Let All the World in Every Corner Sing

Lyrics by: George Herbert (1633)
Music by: Ralph Vaughan Williams (1911)
Tune: ANTIPHON · 9 8 9 8 D
Scripture: Psalm 100

Verse 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!

Verse 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, above all, the heart
Must bear the longest part.
Let all the world in every corner sing,
My God and King!
