227 . Jesus Shall Reign

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. 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 wherever He reigns; The prisoner leaps to lose his chains; The weary find eternal rest, And all who suffer want are blessed. Let every creature rise and bring Honors peculiar to our King; Angels descend with songs again, And earth repeat the loud amen!
