(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith)
1
Jesus shall reign where’er the sun
Does his successive journeys run,
His kingdom spreads from shore to shore
Till moons shall wax and wane no more.
2
From north to south the princes meet
To pay their homage at His feet,
While western empires own their Lord
And savage tribes attend His word.
3
To Him shall endless prayer be made
And endless praises crown His head;
His name like sweet perfume shall rise
With ev’ry morning sacrifice.
4
People and realms of ev’ry tongue
Dwell on His love with sweetest song,
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their early blessings on His name.
