Verse 1

Jesus shall reign where'er the sun does its successive journeys run,
his kingdom stretch from shore to shore, till moons shall wax and wane no more.

Verse 2

For Him shall endless
prayer be
made, And praises throng
to crown His
head; His Name, like sweet
perfume shall
rise With every morning sacrifice.

Verse 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.

Verse 4

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

Verse 5

Where He displays
His healing
power Death and the curse
are known no
more; In Him the tribes
of Adam
boast More blessings than
their father lost.
