(Please click to listen to the 44th Episode of the HymnPreaching Podcast, a meditation inspired by the hymn, JESUS SHALL REIGN by Isaac Watts)
“…So, dear Christian for whom Christ died, why focus on the noise of the battle and the size of the enemy instead of beholding the glory and power of Him who reigns over all?”
1 Jesus shall reign where'er the sun
does its 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 prisoners leap to lose their chains,
the weary find eternal rest,
and all who suffer want are blest.
5 Let every creature rise and bring
the highest honors to our King,
angels descend with songs again,
and earth repeat the loud amen.
