Let the song go round the earth
Verse 1
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.
Verse 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, Waft them on to India's plains.
Verse 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 and swell her wide lands o'er.
Verse 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, Snowbound coasts give back the hymn.
Verse 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 Evermore and evermore.
