Jesus Shall Reign Where'er The Sun

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,801 hymnals Lyrics: 1 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. 2 People and realms of ev'ry tongue Dwell on His love with grateful song And with united hearts proclaim That grace and truth by Jesus came. 3 Blessings abound where'er He reigns: The pris'ner leaps to loose his chains, The weary find eternal rest, And all the sons of want are blest. 4 Where He displays His healing pow'r, The sting of death is known no more: In Him the sons of Adam boast More blessings than their father lost.

Fully, thro' Thee, absolved I am From sin and fear, from guilt and shame. 4 This spotless robe the same appears When ruined nature sinks in years; No age can change its glorious hue, The robe of Christ is ever new. 5 And when the dead shall hear Thy voice, Thy banished children shall rejoice; Their beauty this, their glorious dress, Jesus, the Lord our righteousness.
