Jesus shall reign where'er the sun
|
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. People and realms of every tongue Dwell on his love with sweetest song, And infant voices shall proclaim Their early blessings on his name. 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. To him shall endless prayer be made, And praises throng to crown his head; His name like incense shall arise With every morning sacrifice. Let every creature rise and bring Peculiar honours to our King; Angels descend with songs again, And earth repeat the loud Amen. |
Quocumque sol se diriget regnantem Jesum sentiet; patebit regnum, luna dum ad mensem aptet habitum. Amorem illius canit quaecumque lingua sonuit et prima vox infantium dicabit nomen optimum. Abundant bona qua regit, captivus vincla deicit; fit longa fessis requies et divitantur pauperes. Preces continuabimus; cingemus illum laudibus; surget cum ture nomen et ad caelum mane se feret. Summo quot animas habent honore regem celebrent; superna carmen integret cohors, et terra Amen sonet. |
