Cho.
Let
all
the
world
in
ev'ry
corner
sing,
My
God
and
King.
Vers.
The
heav'ns
are
not
too
high,
His
praise
may
thither
flie:
The
earth
is
not
too
low,
His
praises
there
may
grow.
Cho.
Let

Vers.
The

with

must
shout,
No
doore

out:
But
above
all,
the
heart
Must
bear
the
longest
part.
Cho.
Let
all
the
world
in
ev'ry
corner
sing,
My
God
and
King.
George Herbert
George Herbert, (born April 3, 1593, Montgomery Castle, Wales—died March 1, 1633, Bemerton, Wiltshire, Eng.), English religious poet, a major metaphysical poet, notable for the purity and effectiveness of his choice of words. A younger brother of Edward Herbert, 1st Baron Herbert of Cherbury, a notable secular metaphysical poet, George in 1610 sent his mother for New Year’s two sonnets on the theme that the love of God is a fitter subject for verse than the love of woman, a foreshadowing of his poetic and vocational bent.
