- 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!
- 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!
- Lyrics: George Herbert (1593-1633) , "Antiphon", from "The Temple: Sacred Poems and Private Ejaculations", published 1633.
