Hail to the Lord's Anointed

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Church Book #122 (1890) Meter: 7.6 Topics: Advent, Third Sunday Lyrics: 1 Hail to the Lord's Anointed, Great David's greater Son! Hail, in the time appointed, His reign on earth begun! He comes to break oppression, To set the captive free; To take away transgression, And rule in equity. 2 He comes with succor speedy To those who suffer wrong; To help the poor and needy, And bid the weak be strong; To give them songs for sighing; Their darkness turn to light, Whose souls, condemned and dying, Were precious in His sight. 3 He shall come down like showers Upon the fruitful earth; And love, joy, hope, like flowers, Spring in His path to birth. Before Him, on the mountains, Shall peace, the herald, go; And righteousness, in fountains, From hill to valley flow. 4 For Him shall prayer unceasing And daily vows ascend; His kingdom still increasing, A kingdom without end. The tide of time shall never His covenant remove; His Name shall stand forever; That Name to us is Love. Scripture: Psalm 72 Languages: English Tune Title: AURELIA

Hvor er eders Tro og Love? Sover I dog aller Tre! Er det Tid at sove nu, Da Guds Søn i Sjæl og Hu Ængstes hart og skjælver bange Som en ussel Dødsens Fange? 2 Kan I ei een Time vaage, Siger Jesus, er det ret, At den Trygheds Søvne-Taage Blinder Sjæl og Øie tæt? Lukker I da Hjertet til, Og med Søvnet slukke vil Al den Angest, Nød og Møie, Som jeg maa ufkyldig døie? 3 Peder, løfterige Peder! Hvor er nu dit Ord og Haand! Sover du, imens jeg sveder, Ængstet udi Sjæl og Aand? Satan vilde sigtet dig, Da jeg bad saa inderlig; Der du var i Havsens Fare, Holdt jeg Pagt, dit Liv at vare. 4 Vidste I den store Fare, Vidste I den store Nød, Saa I kun Ulykkens Snare, Som er lagt til eders Død, O, hvor fik I op at se, Vaage, raabe alle Tre, Bede, at I ikke alle Udi Fristelse henfalde! 5 O, min Jesus, o jeg klager Og bejamrer hjertelig, At mig Sikkerhed indtager Og saa tidt forblinder mig, At, om jeg end en Gang faar Tanker om dit Blod og Saar, Saa gjør Satan, naar det gjælder, At mig Søvnen overvælder. 6 Trende Gange du kun minder, At Disciplene skal se, Jeg ti tusind Gange finder Din Advarsel mer end de, Ligger dog saa lad og blind, Sovner dybt i Synden ind, Vil ei vaage, se og høre, Naar Guds Aand vil Hjertet røre. 7 Væk mig dog, og lad mig ikke Lukt i Døden sove hen! Løs du op min Trygheds Strikke, Søde Jesus Sjæleven! Lad mit Øie altid se Paa din Pine, Nød og Ve, Lad mig midt i Dødsens Taage Paa dig tænke, tro og vaage! Languages: Norwegian
