Jesus shall reign where'er the sun

Does his successive journeys run;

His kingdom stretch from shore to shore,

Till moons shall wax and wane no more.

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.

Let ev'ry creature rise and bring

His holiest off'rings to our King;

Angels descend with songs again;

And earth repeat the loud amen.

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;

Praise Him, all creatures here below;

Praise Him above, ye heav'nly host,

Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Jesu, the very thought of Thee,

With sweetness fills the breast;

But sweeter far, Thy face to see,

And in Thy presence rest.

Tongue never spake, ear never heard,

Never from heart o'erflow'd,

A dearer Name, a sweeter Word,

Than Jesus, Son of God.

O hope of ev'ry contrite heart!

To penitents how kind!
