Jesus Shall Reign Where'er the Sun

Jesus Shall Reign Where'er the Sun
By Isaac Watts and John Hatton.
Public Domain

Jesus shall reign where'er the sun
Doth his successive journeys run;
His kingdom stretch from shore to shore,
Till moons shall wax and wane no more.

Peoples and realms of ev'ry tongue
Dwell on His love with sweetest song,
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their early blessings on His name.

Blessings abound where'er He reigns;
The prisoner leaps to loose his chains;
The weary find eternal rest
And all the sons of want are blest.

Let ev'ry creature rise and bring
Peculiar honors to our King.
Angels descend with songs again
And earth repeat the loud Amen.
