Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) ‎#342b

342b. Let all the world in every corner sing

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,
'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!'
