Verse 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.
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
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 Peculiar honours to our King; Angels descend with songs again, And earth repeat the loud Amen.
