Text: | Jesus Shall Reign Where'er the Sun |
Author: | Isaac Watts |
Tune: | TRURO |
1 Jesus shall reign where'er the sun
Does its successive journeys run;
His kingdom stretch from shore to shore
Till moons shall wax and wane no more.
2 To him shall endless prayer be made
And endless praises crown his head;
His name like sweet perfume shall rise
With ev'ry morning sacrifice.
3 People and realms of ev'ry tongue
Praise his great love with sweetest song,
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their early blessings on his name.
4 Blessings abound where'er he reigns:
The pris'ner leaps, unloosed his chains,
The weary find eternal rest,
And all who suffer want are blest.
5 Let ev'ry creature rise and bring
Worship and honor to our King;
Angels descend with songs again,
And earth repeat the loud amen.
