Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. The world is so big and, oh, so round, And in it God’s creations are found; Mountains and valleys and trees so tall, Animals big and animals small.
The world is so big and, oh, so round. God loves us all; our blessings abound.

The world is so big and, oh, so round. God loves us all; our blessings abound.
