402 - Praise to God

 

Antiphon:

Let all the world in every corner sing,

my God and King!

 

 

1. The heavens are not too high,

his praise may thither fly;

the earth is not too low,

his praises there may grow. Repeat Antiphon

 

2. The Church with psalms must shout,

no door can keep them out;

but, above all, the heart

must bear the longest part. Repeat Antiphon
