Text: | Jesus shall Reign |
Author: | Isaac Watts |
Tune: | DUKE STREET |
Composer: | J. Hatton |
1 Jesus shall reign where'er the sun
Does 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 praises throng to crown His head;
His name, like sweet perfume, shall rise
With ev'ry morning sacrifice.
3 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.
4 Blessings abound where'er He reigns;
The prisoner leaps to burst his chains,
The weary find eternal rest,
And all the sons of want are blest.
5 Let ev'ry creature rise and bring
Peculiar honors to our King:
Angels descend with songs again,
And earth repeat the loud Amen.
