Jesus Shall Reign Where'er the Sun

167

(DUKE STREET L. M.)

Isaac Watts, 1719

John Hatton, -1793

1. Jesus shall reign where'er the sun
   Does his suecessive journeys run,
   His king - dom spread from shore to shore,
   Till moons shall wax and wane no more,
   
2. For him shall end less prayer be made,
   And praises throng to crown his head;
   His name, like sweet per fume, shall rise
   
3. People and realms of every tongue
   Dwell on his love with sweet - est song,
   And infant voices shall proclaim
   With every morning sacrifice;
   
4. Blessings a bound where'er he reigns;
   The prisoner leaps to loose his chains,
   The weary find eternal rest,
   Their early blessings on his name.
   
5. Let every creature rise and bring Peculiar honors to our King;
   An - gels de scend with songs a - gain,
   And all the sons of want are blest.
   And earth repeat the loud Amen Amen
