1. Jesus shall reign where’er the sun

Jesus shall reign where’er the sun Doth this successive journeys run; His kingdom stretch from shore to shore Till suns shall rise and set no more

For Him shall endless prayer be made; And praises throng to crown His head; 11 His Name like 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 young hosannas to 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.

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

Let every creature rise and bring, Its grateful honours to our King: Angels descend with songs again, And earth prolong the joyful strain.
