Jesus Shall Reign

Jesus shall reign where’er the sunDoes his successive journeys run;His kingdom stretch from shore to shoreTill moons shall wax and wane no more.

To Him shall endless prayer be madeAnd endless praises crown His head;His name, like sweet perfume, shall riseWith every morning sacrifice.

People and realms of every tongueDwell on His love with sweetest song;And infant voices shall proclaimTheir early blessings on His name.

Blessings abound where’er He reigns;The prisoner leaps to loose his chains,The weary find eternal rest,And all the sons of want are blest.

Where He displays His healing power,Death and the curse are known no more;In Him the tribes of Adam boastMore blessings than their father lost.

Let every creature rise and bringPeculiar honors to our King;Angels descend with songs again,And earth repeat the loud Amen.
