7.5.7.5.7.7 [1862]Moel Llys: Sarah G. Stock, 1899 Sarah C. Stocks, 1898 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, Icebound 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. |
