Jesus Shall Reign

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,821 hymnals Topics: Psalms First Line: Jesus shall reign where’er the sun Lyrics: 1 Jesus shall reign where’er the sun does its successive journeys run. His realm shall stretch from shore to shore, till moons shall wax and wane no more. 2 For 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 Christ reigns; and pris’ners leap to loose their chains, the weary find eternal rest, and all who suffer want are bless’d. 5 Let ev’ry creature rise and bring each its peculiar praise to sing; angels descend with songs again, and earth repeat the loud amen!

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546 Meter: 8.7.8.7.5.5.5.6.7 Appears in 30 hymnals Topics: Psalm paraphrase Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God, A trusty shield and weapon; He helps us free from ev'ry need That hath us now o'ertaken. The old evil foe Now means deadly woe; Deep guile and great might Are his dread arms in fight; On earth is not his equal. 2 With might of ours can naught be done, Soon were our loss effected; But for us fights the Valiant One, Whom God Himself elected. Ask ye, Who is this? Jesus Christ it is, Of Sabaoth Lord, And there's none other God; He holds the field forever. 3 Though devils all the world should fill, All eager to devour us. We tremble not, we fear no ill; They shall not overpow'r us. This world's prince may still Scowl fierce as he will, He can harm us none. He's judged; the deed is done; One little word can fell him. 4 The Word they still shall let remain Nor any thanks have for it; He's by our side upon the plain With His good gifts and Spirit. And take they our life, Goods, fame, child, and wife, Though these all be gone, Our vict'ry has been won; The Kingdom ours remaineth.
