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.
