287. 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!"

3 Let all the world in every corner sing:
"My God and King!"
The Father, with the Son,
And Spirit, Three in One,
One Everlasting Lord,
Be evermore adored!
Let all the world in every corner sing:
"My God and King!"

Amen.
