The Convention Hymnal Score of Hymn 15: Jesus Shall Reign Where'er the Sun by Isaac Watts

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 To 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 prisoner leaps to lose 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!
Isaac Watts
