72 (1)Psalm 72 Version 1LM
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  For 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  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.
 
6  Let every creature rise and bring
Distinctive honours to our King;
Angels descend with songs again,
And earth repeat the loud Amen.
 
Isaac Watts, 1674-1748
