Poem by George Herbert


Antiphon (I)


Cho. LEt all the world in ev'ry corner sing,
			My God and King.

	Vers. The heav'ns are not too high,
		His praise may thither flie:
		The earth is not too low,
		His praises there may grow.

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

	Vers. The church with psalms must shout,
		No doore can keep them out:
		But above all, the heart
		Must bear the longest part.

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