JESUS SHALL REIGN WHERE’ER THE SUN

Jesus shall reign where’er the 
sun doth his successive
journeys run:
His kingdom stretch from
shore to Shore
Till moons shall wax and
wane no more

For Him shall endless prayer
be made,
And princes throng to crown
His head:
His name sweet perfume
shall rise
With every morning sacrifice.

People and realms of every
tongue
Dwell on His love with sweetest
song,
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their early blessings on
His Name.

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

Let every creature rise
and bring
Peculiar honours to our King:
Angels, descend with songs again
And, earth, repeat the loud
Amen.
