No. 223
Jesus Shall Reign Wherever The Sun
Jesus shall reign where'er the Sun
does its successive journey's run;
His kingdom stretch from shore to shore,
till moons shall wax and wane no more.
To Him shall endless pray'r be made,
and praises throng to crown His head;
His name, like sweet perfume, shall rise
with ev'ry morning sacrifice.
People and realms of ev'ry 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 prison'r leaps to lose his chains,
the weary find eternal rest,
and all the sons of want are blest.
Let ev'ry creature rise and bring
peculiar honours to our King;
Angels descend with songs again,
and Earth repeat the loud amen!
