SA Song Book 160

1.
Jesus shall reign where’er the sun
Doth his successive journeys run;
His Kingdom stretch from shore to shore,
‘Till suns shall rise and set no more.

2.
People and realms of every tongue
Dwell on his love with sweetest song;
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their young hosannas to his name.

3.
Blessings abound where’er he reigns,
The prisoner leaps to loose his chains,
The weary find eternal rest,
And all the sons of want are blest.

4.
Where he displays his healing power,
Death and the curse are known no more;
In him the tribes of Adam boast
More blessings than their father lost.

5.
Let every creature rise and bring
Peculiar honours to our King;
Angels descend with songs again
And earth prolong the joyful strain.
