Jesus shall reign where’er the sun

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,801 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Redeemer Lyrics: 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 praises throng to crown his head; his name like sweet perfume shall rise with every morning sacrifice; 3 people and realms of every tongue dwell on his love with sweetest song; and infant voices shall proclaim their early blessings on his name. 4 Blessings abound where'er he reigns: the prisoner leaps to lose his chains; the weary find eternal rest; and all who suffer want are blessed. 5 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. 6 Let every creature rise and bring the highest honours to our King, angels descend with songs again, and earth repeat the loud amen. Scripture: Isaiah 61:1-4 Used With Tune: WARRINGTON

How bright these glorious spirits shine!

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 156 hymnals Topics: Christ Lamb of God; Christ Shepherd; Christian Life The Resurrection and Life Everlasting; Heaven Redeemed in; Martyrs Lyrics: 1 How bright these glorious spirits shine! Whence all their white array? How came they to the blissful seats Of everlasting day? Lo! these are they from suff'rings great Who came to realms of light, And in the blood of Christ have washed Those robes which shine so bright. 2 Now, with triumphal palms, they stand Before the throne on high, And serve the God they love, amidst The glories of the sky. His presence fills each heart with joy, Tunes ev'ry mouth to sing: By day, by night, the sacred courts With glad hosannas ring. 3 Hunger and thirst are felt no more, Nor suns with scorching ray; God is their Sun, whose cheering beams Diffuse eternal day. The Lamb which dwells amidst the throne Shall o'er them still preside, Feed them with nourishment divine, And all their footsteps guide. 4 'Mong pastures green he'll lead his flock Where living streams appear; And God the Lord from ev'ry eye Shall wipe off ev'ry tear. To him who sits upon the throne, The God whom we adore, And to the Lamb that once was slain, Be glory evermore! Amen.
