Text:Jesus shall reign where'er the sun
Author:Isaac Watts (1674-1748)

160. Jesus shall reign where'er the sun

1 Jesus shall reign where’er the sun
Doth his successive journeys run;
His Kingdom stretch from shore to shore,
Till suns shall rise and set no more.

2 People and realms of every tongue
Dwell on his love with sweetest song;
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their young hosannas to his name.

3 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.

4 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.

5 Let every creature rise and bring
Peculiar honours to our King;
Angels descend with songs again
And earth prolong the joyful strain.
