Composer:Basil Harwood

250. Antiphon

Refrain:
Let all the world in ev'ry corner sing,
My God and King.

1. The heav'ns are not too high,
His praise may thither fly;
The earth is not too low,
His praises there may grow. [Refrain]

2. The Church with psalms must shout;
No door can keep them out;
But above all, the heart
Must bear the longest part. [Refrain]
