Hail to the Lord's Anointed

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 855 hymnals Topics: God as King Lyrics: 1 Hail to the Lord’s anointed, great David’s greater Son! Hail, in the time appointed, your reign on earth begun! You come to break oppression, to set the captive free, to take away transgression, and rule in equity. 2 You come with rescue 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, are precious in your sight. 3 You shall come down like showers upon the fruitful earth; love, joy, and hope, like flowers, spring in your path to birth. Before you on the mountains shall peace, the herald, go; and righteousness in fountains from hill to valley flow. 4 Kings shall fall down before you, and gold and incense bring; all nations shall adore you, your praise all people sing. To you shall prayer unceasing and daily vows ascend; your kingdom still increasing, a kingdom without end. Scripture: Psalm 72 Used With Tune: ES FLOG EIN KLEINS WALDVÖGELEIN

You, O Lord, on high exalted, reign forevermore in might; all your enemies shall perish, sin be banished from your sight. 3 But the good shall live before you, planted in your dwelling place, fruited trees and ever verdant, nourished by your boundless grace. In his goodness to the righteous God his righteousness displays; God, my rock, my strength and refuge, just and true are all your ways.
