Jesus Shall Reign Where'er the Sun
"His government and peace there shall be no end" - Isa 9:7
VERSE 1
Jesus shall reign where'er the sun
Doth his successive journeys run;
His kingdom stretch from shore to shore,
Till suns shall rise and set no more.
VERSE 2
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.
VERSE 3
People and realms of every tongue
Dwell on His love with sweetest song;
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their young hosannas to His name.
VERSE 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.
VERSE 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.
VERSE 6
Let every creature rise and bring,
Its grateful honours to our King;
Angels descend with songs again,
And earth prolong the joyful strain.
