Lyrics: Isaac Watts
Tune: W. J. White
Meter: L.M. (8,8,8,8)

Jesus shall reign where'er the sun,
Doth his successive journeys run;
His kingdom stretches from shore to shore,
Till moons shall wax and wane no more.

People and realms of every tongue
Dwell on His love with sweetest song,
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their early blessing's on his Name.

Blessings bound where'er He reigns;
The prisoner leaps to lose his chains;
The weary find eternal rest,
And all the sons of want are blest.

Let every creature rise and bring
Peculiar honors to our King;
Angels descend with songs again,
And earth repeat the long Amen.
