Jesus shall reign where'er the sun 
does its successive journeys run; 
his kingdom spread from shore to shore, 
till moons shall wax and wane no more.

To Jesus endless prayer be made, 
and endless praises crown his head; 
his name like sweet perfume shall rise 
with every morning sacrifice.

People and realms of every 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; 
all prisoners leap and loose their chains; 
the weary find eternal rest, 
and all who suffer want are blest.

Let every creature rise and bring 
honours peculiar to our King; 
angels descend with songs again, 
and earth repeat the loud amen!
