 1 

Jesus shall reign where'er the sun

Doth his 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 princes 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 the sons of want are blest.

 
 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

Peculiar honors to our King;

Angels descend with songs again,

And earth repeat the loud Amen.
