Hymns to the Living God ‎#105

105. Jesus Shall Reign

1 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.

2 To Him shall endless pray'r be made,
and endless praises 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 pris'ners leap to lose their chains,
the weary find eternal rest,
and all who suffer want are blessed.

5 Let ev'ry creature rise and bring
their grateful honors to our King.
Angels descend with songs again,
and earth repeat the loud "Amen!"
