Antiphon (I)

Let all the world in ev'ry corner sing,
                                       My God and King.

         The heav'ns are not too high,
         His praise may thither fly:
         The earth is not too low,
         His praises there may grow.

Let all the world in ev'ry corner sing,
                                       My God and King.

         The church with psalms must shout,
         No door can keep them out:
         But above all, the heart
         Must bear the longest part.

Let all the world in ev'ry corner sing,
                                       My God and King.

—George Herbert, The Complete English Poems (New York: Penguin, 1991), 47.
