The New Praiseworthy ‎#277

277. Jesus Shall Reign

1 Jesus shall reign where-e'er the sun
Does His successive journeys run;
His kingdom spread from shore to shore,
Till moons shall wax and wane no more.

2 From north to south the princes meet,
To pay their homage at His feet:
While western empires own their Lord,
And savage tribes attend His word.

3 To Him shall endless prayer be made,
And endless praises crown His head;
His name like sweet perfume shall rise
With every morning sacrifice.

4 People and realms of every tongue
Dwell on His Love with sweetest song,
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their early blessings on his name.
