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.
