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:
Ev'ry clime and ev'ry tongue,
Come, 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,
And 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, 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,
And icebound 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
For evermore and evermore,

Refrain Let the song go 'round the earth,
Jesus Christ is King!
