The Ends of All the Earth Shall Hear

The ends of all the earth shall hear
And turn unto the Lord in fear;
All kindreds of the earth shall own
And worship Him as God alone.

Refrain

All earth to Him her homage brings,
The Lord of lords, the King of kings.

For His the kingdom, His of right,
He rules the nations by His might;
All earth to Him her homage brings,
The Lord of lords, the King of kings.

Refrain

Both rich and poor, both bond and free
Shall worship Him on bended knee,
And children’s children shall proclaim
The glorious honor of His Name.

Refrain

The Lord’s unfailing righteousness
All generations shall confess,
From age to age shall all be taught
What wondrous works the Lord has wrought.

Refrain

Author: Unknown

This is a metrical paraphrase of Psalm 22:27-31. No specific author is credited in common hymnals; it appears in older Psalters and collections (often 19th or early 20th century) as an anonymous or traditional rendering. The style is consistent with 18th-19th century psalm versifications but does not match well-known authors such as Watts, Wesley, or Montgomery.
