145--Jesus shall reign where'er the sun

Jesus shall reign where'er the sun

145

	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.
