#227 — Jesus Shall Reign

(Verse 1)

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

(Verse 2)

People and realms of every tongue
Dwell on his love with sweetest song;
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their early blessings on his name.

(Verse 3)

Blessings abound where’er he reigns:
The prisoner leaps to lose his chains;
The weary find eternal rest,
And all who suffer want are blest.

(Verse 4)

Let ev'ery creature rise and bring
Honors peculiar to our king;
The weary find eternal life,
And earth repeat the loud amen.
