Our Great Redeemer's Praise ‎#282

282. Jesus Shall Reign

1 Jesus shall reign where'er the sun
does its successive journeys run;
His kingdom stretch from shore to shore,
till moons shall wax and wane no more.

2 To Jesus endless prayer be made,
and endless praises crown His head.
His name like sweet perfume shall rise
with every 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 and loose their chains;
the weary find eternal rest,
and all who suffer want are blest.

5 Let ev'ry creature rise and bring
honors peculiar to our King;
angels descend with songs again,
and earth repeat the loud amen!
