LET THE ROUND WORLD 1.Let the round world with songs rejoice; Let heaven return the joyful voice; All mindful of the Apostles' fame Let heaven and earth their praise proclaim. 2.Ye servants who once bore the light of Gospel truth o'er heathen night, Still may your work that light impart, To glad our eyes and cheer our heart. 3.O God, by whom to them was given The key that shuts,and opens heaven, Our chains unbind, our loss repair, And grant us grace to enter there; 4.For at thy will they preached the word Which cured disease, which health conferred: O may that healing power once more Our souls to grace and health restore: 5.That when thy Son again shall come, And speak the world's unerring doom, He may with them pronounce us blest, And place us in they endless rest. 6.To thee, O Father; Son, to thee; To thee, blest Spirit, glory be! So was it ay for ages past, So shall through endless ages last.
