Jesus shall reign where'er the sun

479 Duke Street. L. M.

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 praises throng to 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
   the highest honors to our King,
   angels descend with songs again,
   and earth repeat the loud amen.
                         Isaac Watts

This Watts hymn is in over 1700 hymnals and some insert a verse after verse 3:

4 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.
