If ev­ery knee would hum­bly bow,
And ev­ery tongue con­fess the Lord,
If ev­ery heart would hum­bly vow
To live ac­cord­ing to His word,

Refrain

O what a world this world would be;
What won­ders ev­ery eye should see;
If all would hum­bly bow the knee,
O what a world this world would be.

If all the world would now be­gin
To live the life of cha­ri­ty;
And put away the reign of sin,
O what a world this world would bring!

Refrain

If ev­ery heart would glad­ly own
Our Sav­ior as its Lord and king;
If He should reign, and He alone,
What joys His kind­ly reign would bring!

Refrain
