Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #691a (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Ancient and Modern Lyrics: 1 Jesus shall reign where'er the sun
does his successive journeys run;
his kingdom stretch from shore to shore,
till moons shall wax and wane no more.
2 People and realms of every tongue
dwell on his love with sweetest song,
and infant voices shall proclaim
their early blessings on his name.
3 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.
4 To him shall endless prayer be made,
and praises throng to crown his head;
his name like incense shall arise
with every morning sacrifice.
5 Let every creature rise and bring
peculiar honours to our King;
angels descend with songs again,
and earth repeat the loud Amen. Topics: Blessing; Christ the King (The Sunday next before Advent) Year B; Church Universal; Kingdom of God; Praise; The Seventh Sunday of Easter Year A; Ascension Day Scripture: Psalm 72 Languages: English Tune Title: TRURO
