Lyrics
- 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.
- For Him shall endless prayer be made, and praises throng to crown His head; 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 early blessings on 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 peculiar honors to our King; angels descend with songs again, and earth repeat the loud Amen.
