LyicsJESUS shall reign where'er the sun
Does his successive journeys 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 ev'ry 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 bless'd.
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 ev'ry creature rise and bring
All grateful honors to our King;
Angels descend with songs again,
And earth repeat the loud Amen!
