The Celebration Hymnal

Jesus Shall Reign

1 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.  

2 To Him shall endless prayer be made,  
And endless praises crown His head.  
His name like sweet perfume shall rise  
With every morning sacrifice.  

3 People and realms of every tongue  
Dwell on His love with sweetest song,  
And infant voices shall proclaim  
Their early blessings on His name.  

4 Let every creature rise and bring  
His grateful honors to our King;  
Angels descend with songs again,  
And earth repeat the loud "Amen!"
