1 Let the song go ‘round the earth,
Jesus Christ is Lord;
Sound His praises, tell His worth,
Be His Name adored;
Ev’ry clime and ev’ry tongue
Come, join the grand, the glorious song,
Let the song go ‘round the earth,
Jesus Christ is King!

2 Let the song go ‘round the earth!
From the eastern sea,
Where the daylight has its birth,
Glad, and bright, and free!
China’s millions join the strains,
And waft them on to India’s plains,
Let the song go ‘round the earth,
Jesus Christ is King!

3 Let the song go ‘round the earth!
Lands where Islam’s sway
Darkly broods o’er home and hearth,
Cast their bonds away!
Let His praise from Afric’s shore
Rise, rise and swell her wide lands o’er,
Let the song go ‘round the earth,
Jesus Christ is King!

4 Let the song go ‘round the earth!
Where the summer smiles;
Let the notes of holy mirth
Break from distant isles!
Inland forests, dark and dim,
Ice-bound coasts give back the hymn,
Let the song go ‘round the earth,
Jesus Christ is King!

5 Let the song go ‘round the earth!
Jesus Christ is King;
With the story of His worth
Let the whole world ring!
Him creation all adore
For evermore and evermore,
Let the song go ‘round the earth,
Jesus Christ is King!
