Jesus shall reign
Jesus shall reignwhere’er the sunDoes its successivejourneys run;His kingdom spreadfrom shore to shore,Till moons shall waxand wane no more.
To Him shall endlessprayer be made,And endless praisescrown His head;His name like sweetperfume shall riseWith ev’rymorning sacrifice.
People and realmsof ev’ry tongueDwell on His lovewith sweetest song,And infant voicesshall proclaimTheir early blessingson His name.
Blessings aboundwhere’er He reigns;The pris’ner leapsto lose his chains;The weary findeternal restand all the sonsof want are blest.
Let ev’ry creaturerise and bringHonor and glory to our King;Angels descendwith songs again,And earth repeatthe loud “Amen!”
