Thy Scepter, Jesus, Shall Extend
Author: Franz Michael Franzen Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thy scepter, Jesus, shall extend
As far as day prevaileth;
Thy glorious kingdom, without end,
Shall stand when all else faileth.
Thy blessed Name shall be confessed,
And round Thy cross forever blest,
Shall kings and people gather.
2 The child that's born to Thee we take,
To Thee in death we hasten;
In joy we often Thee forsake,
But not when sorrows chasten.
Where truth and virtue are oppressed,
Where sorrow dwells, pain and unrest,
Thy help alone availeth.
3 Come, Jesus, then, in weal and woe,
In life and death be near us;
Thy grace upon our hearts bestow,
And let Thy Spirit cheer us.
For ev'ry conflict strength afford,
And gather us in peace, O Lord,
When all the world Thou judgest. Topics: Missions Used With Tune: ES IST GEWISSLICH AN DER ZEIT
