Original Lyrics Isaac Watts (1674 - 1748)[2]

From A Collection of Sacred Hymns, for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, 1841==

Hymn 142
L.M.
1. Jesus shall reign where'er the sun
Doth his successive journeys run;
His kingdom stretch from shore to shore,
Till moons shall wax and wane no more.

2. For him shall endless prayer be made,
And praises throng to crown his head;
His name, like sweet perfume, shall rise
With every morning sacrifice.

3. People and realms of every tongue
Dwell on his love with sweetest song;
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their early blessings on his name.

4. Blessings abound where'er he reigns,
The joyful pris'ner bursts his chains;
The weary find eternal rest,
And all the sons of want are blest.

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

Doth his successive journies run:<br>
His kingdom stretch from shore to shore,<br>
Till moons shall wax and wane no more.

2. For him shall endless prayer be made,<br>
And praises throng to crown his head;<br>
His name, like sweet perfume, shall rise<br>
With ev'ry morning sacrifice.

3. People and realms of ev'ry tongue<br>
Dwell on his love with sweetest song;<br>
And infant voices shall proclaim<br>
Their early blessings on his name.

4. Blessings abound where'er he reigns,<br>
The joyful pris'ner bursts his chains;<br>
The weary find eternal rest,<br>
And all the sons of want are blest.

5. Let ev'ry creature rise and bring<br>
Peculiar honors to our King:<br>
Angels descend with songs again<br>
And earth repeat the loud Amen.
