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 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 every 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;
        all prisoners leap and loose their chains;
        the weary find eternal rest,
        and all who suffer want are blest.

5.     Let every creature rise and bring
        honours peculiar to our King;
        angels descend with songs again,
        and earth repeat the loud amen!



Isaac Watts 1674-1748
