1 Jesus shall reign where'er the Sun
Does his successive Journey run;
His Kingdom stretch from Shore to Shore,
Till Moons shall wax, and wane no more.

2 Behold the Islands with her Kings,
And Europe her best Tribute brings;
From North to south the Princes meet,
To pay their Homage at his Feet.

3 There Persia glorious to behold,
There India shines in Eastern Gold;
And Barbarous Nations at his Word
Submit, and bow, and own their Lord.

4 For Him shall Endless Pray'r be made,
And Princes throng to crown his Head;
His Name like sweet Perfume shall rise
With every Morning Sacrifice.

5 People and Realms of every Tongue
Dwell on his Love with sweetest Song;
And Infant Voices shall proclaim
Their early Blessings on his Name.

6 Blessings abound where'er he reigns,
The Pris'ner leaps to lose his Chains;
The Weary find Eternal Rest,
And all the Sons of Want are blest.

7 Where he displays his healing Pow'r
Death and the Curse are known no more;
In Him the Tribes of Adam boast
More Blessings than their Father lost.

8 Let every Creature rise and bring
Peculiar Honours to our King;
Angels descend with songs again,
And Earth repeat a loud Amen.
