Lyics

JESUS shall reign wher'er the sun

Does his successive journies run;

His kingdom spread from shore to shore,

Till moons shall wax and wane no more,



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.



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 joyful pris'ner bursts his chains,

The weary find eternal rest,

And all the sons of want are blest.



Where he displays his healing pow'r,

Death and the curse are known no more.

In him the tribes of Adam boast

More blessings than their father lost.



Let ev'ry creature rise and bring

Peculiar honors to our King;

Angels descend with songs again,

And earth repeat the loud-Amen!
