The Hymnal 1982 ‎#402

402. The heavens are not too high

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. [Antiphon]

2 The Church with psalms must shout,
no door can keep them out;
but, above all, the heart
must bear the longest part. [Antiphon]
