Hail to the Lord's Anointed

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 854 hymnals Topics: Friendship, World 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 O'er every foe victorious, He on His throne shall rest, From age to age more glorious, All blessing and all blest; The tide of time shall never His covenant remove; His Name shall stand forever— That Name to us is Love. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 72 Used With Tune: TOURS

O brother man, fold to thy heart thy brother!

Author: John Greenleaf Whittier, 1807 - 92 Appears in 153 hymnals Topics: City, Nation, World Lyrics: 1 O brother man, fold to thy heart thy brother! Where pity dwells, the peace of God is there; To worship rightly is to love each other, Each smile a hymn, each kindly deed a prayer. 2 Follow with reverent steps the great example Of him whose holy work was doing good; So shall the wide earth seem our Father's temple, Each loving life a psalm of gratitude. 3 Then shall all shackles fall; the stormy clangor Of wild war-music o'er the earth shall cease; Love shall tread out the baleful fire of anger, And in its ashes plant the tree of peace.

Crown Him with Many Crowns

Author: Matthew Bridges Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 817 hymnals Topics: World Peace Lyrics: 1 Crown him with many crowns, the Lamb upon his throne; hark, how the heavenly anthem drowns all music but its own! Awake, my soul, and sing of him who died for thee, and hail him as thy matchless King through all eternity. 2 Crown him the Lord of love; behold his hands and side, rich wounds, yet visible above, in beauty glorified: no angel in the sky can fully bear that sight, but downward bends his burning eye at mysteries so bright. 3 Crown him the Lord of peace, whose power a scepter sways from pole to pole, that wars may cease, absorbed in prayer and praise. His reign shall know no end; and round his pierced feet fair flowers of paradise extend their fragrance ever sweet. 4 Crown him the Lord of years, the potentate of time; creator of the rolling spheres, ineffably sublime. All hail, Redeemer, hail! For thou hast died for me; thy praise shall never, never fail throughout eternity. Scripture: Psalm 22:16 Used With Tune: DIADEMATA
