E3. Jesus Shall Reign Where'er the Sun

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 For Him shall endless prayer 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 Let ev'ry creature rise and bring
Peculiar honors to our King:
Angels descend with songs again,
And earth repeat the loud Amen.
