Text:Jesus Shall Reign Where'er The Sun
Author:Isaac Watts
Tune:DUKE STREET
Composer:John Hatton

106. Jesus Shall Reign Where'er The Sun

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.

2 People and realms of ev'ry tongue
Dwell on His love with grateful song
And with united hearts proclaim
That grace and truth by Jesus came.

3 Blessings abound where'er He reigns:
The pris'ner leaps to loose his chains,
The weary find eternal rest,
And all the sons of want are blest.

4 Where He displays His healing pow'r,
The sting of death is known no more:
In Him the sons of Adam boast
More blessings than their father lost.

Amen.
