His Wide Dominion Shall Extend

lyricist: The Psalter, 1912
Composer: James Wade, 1865

His wide do­min­ion shall ex­tend

From sea to ut­most sea

And un­to earth’s re­mot­est bounds

His peace­ful rule shall be.

The tribes that in the de­sert dwell

Shall bow be­fore His throne;

His en­emies shall be sub­dued

And He shall rule alone.

The kings shall come from dist­ant lands

And is­lands of the sea;

Oblations they shall bring to Him

And wait on bend­ed knee.

Yea

all the kings shall bow to Him

His rule all na­tions hail;

He will re­gard the poor man’s cry

When oth­er help­ers fail.

The poor and needy He shall spare

And save their souls from fear;

He shall re­deem them from all wrong

Their life to Him is dear.

So they shall live and bring to Him

Their gifts of fin­est gold;

For Him shall con­stant pray­er be made

His praise each day be told.
