Jesus Shall Reign

Tune: DUKE STREET with chorus

Words: Isaac Watts, 1719, alt.; and Ryan Foglesong

Music: John Hatton, 1793, and Ryan Foglesong

VERSE 1:
Jesus shall reign where’er the sun
Does his successive journeys run;
His kingdom spread from shore to shore,
Till moons shall wax and wane no more.

CHORUS:
He shall reign in glory, crowned with grace and might.
Bless His name, and praise the sovereign King.
He shall reign forever with His chosen bride;
all the earth shall sing that Jesus is the King!

VERSE 2:
People and realms of every tongue
Dwell on His love with sweetest song;
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their earthly blessings on His Name.

CHORUS:
He shall reign in glory, crowned with grace and might.
Bless His name, and praise the sovereign King.
He shall reign forever with His chosen bride;
all the earth shall sing that Jesus is the King!

VERSE 3:
Let every creature rise and bring
Their grateful honors to our King;
Angels descend with songs again,
And earth repeat the loud amen!

CHORUS:
He shall reign in glory, crowned with grace and might.
Bless His name, and praise the sovereign King.
He shall reign forever with His chosen bride;
all the earth shall sing that Jesus is the King!
