The Book of Praise ‎#275

275. Jesus shall reign where'er the sun

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.

For him shall endless prayer be made,
and praises throng to crown his head;
his name like fragrance sweet shall rise
with every morning sacrifice.

People and realms of every tongue
dwell on his love with sweetest song,
and infant voices shall proclaim
their early blessings on his name.

Blessings abound where'er he reigns:
the prisoners leap to lose their chains;
the weary find eternal rest,
and all who suffer want are blest.

Let every creature rise and bring
the honours due our glorious King;
angels descend with songs again,
and earth repeat the long Amen.

HUNGARIAN -
1 Úr lesz a Jézus mindenütt,
Hol csak a napnak fénye süt,
úr lesz a messze tengerig,
Hol a hold nem fogy, s nem telik.

2 Őneki mondjunk hő imát,
Díszítsük azzal homlokát,
Jó illat légyen szent neve,
Minden napon dicsérete.

3 Országok, népek és nyelvek,
Ő dicsőségét zengjétek,
Gyermekek hangja hirdesse:
Áldott a Jézus szent neve!

4 Ő királysága bő áldás,
Ott van a felszabadulás,
Fáradtak ott megnyugszanak,
Ínségesek megáldatnak.

5 Minden teremtés dicsérje,
A Király Krisztust tisztelje;
Angyali ének zengjen fenn,
S mind e föld mondja rá: Ámen.
