Jesus shall reign lyrics

Jesus shall reign

where’er the sun

Does its 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 pris’ner leaps

to lose his chains;

The weary find

eternal rest

and all the sons

of want are blest.

Let ev’ry creature

rise and bring

Honor and glory to our King;

Angels descend

with songs again,

And earth repeat

the loud “Amen!”
