Let the Song Go Round the Earth

Let the song go round the earth

Jesus Christ is Lord!

Sound His prais­es

tell His worth

Be His name ad­ored;

Every clime and ev­ery tongue

Join the grand

the glo­ri­ous song!

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

Waft them on to In­dia’s plains.

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 and swell her wide lands o’er.

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!

With the sto­ry of His worth

Let the whole world ring;

Him cre­ation all ad­ore

Evermore and ev­er­more.
