Hail to the Lord's Anointed

Author: J. Montgomery Appears in 844 hymnals 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 and joy, 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 Kings shall fall down before Him, And gold and incense bring; All nations shall adore Him, His praise all people sing; For He shall have dominion O'er river, sea and shore, Far as the eagle's pinion Or dove's light wing can soar. 5 For Him shall prayer unceasing And daily vows ascend; His kingdom still increasing A kingdom without end. The mountain-dews shall nourish A seed in weakness sown, Whose fruit shall spread and flourish And shake like Lebanon. 6 O'er ev'ry 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 for ever; That name to us is love!

The herald angels sing Glory to the new-born King. 2 Christ, by highest heaven adored: Christ, the everlasting Lord; Late in time behold Him come, Offspring of a virgin's womb: Veiled in flesh the Godhead see; Hail the incarnate Deity, Pleased as man with man to dwell, Jesus, our Immanuel! Hark! The herald angels sing Glory to the new-born King. 3 Hail the heavenly Prince of Peace, Hail the Sun of Righteousness; Light and life to all He brings, Risen with healing in His wings. Mild, He lays His glory by Born that man no more may die, Born to raise the sons of earth, Born to give them second birth. Hark! The herald angels sing Glory to the new-born King. 4 Come, Desire of nations, come, Fix in us Thy humble home; Rise, the woman's conquering seed, Bruise in us the serpent's head. Adam's likeness, Lord, efface; Stamp Thy likeness in its place; O to all Thyself impart, Formed in each believing heart. Hark! the herald angels sing Glory to the new-born King.

Heavenly Father, send Thy blessing

Author: Chr. Wordsworth Appears in 134 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Heavenly Father, send Thy blessing On Thy children gathered here; May they all, Thy name confessing, Be to Thee forever dear; May they be, like Joseph, loving, Dutiful, and chaste, and pure; And their faith, like David, proving, Steadfast unto death endure. 2 Holy Savior, who in meekness Didst vouchsafe a child to be, Guide their steps and help their weakness, Bless and make them like to Thee; Bear Thy lambs, when they are weary, In Thine arms and at Thy breast; Through life’s desert, dry and dreary, Bring them to Thy heavenly rest. 3 Spread Thy golden pinions o’er them, Holy Spirit, from above, Guide them, lead them, go before them, Give them peace, and joy, and love; Thy true temples, Holy Spirit, May they with Thy glory shine, And immortal bliss inherit, And forevermore be Thine.

I could not do without Thee

Author: Frances R. Havergal Appears in 187 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I could not do without Thee O Savior of the lost, Whose wondrous love redeemed me, At such tremendous cost; Thy righteousness, Thy pardon, Thy precious blood must be My only hope and comfort, My glory and my plea. 2 I could not do without Thee, I cannot stand alone, I have no strength or goodness, No wisdom of my own; But Thou, beloved Savior, Art all in all to me; And weakness will be power If leaning hard on Thee. 3 I could not do without Thee, For O the way is long, And I am often weary, And sigh replaces song: How could I do without Thee? I do not know the way; Thou knowest, and Thou leadest, And wilt not let me stray. 4 I could not do without Thee, O Jesus, Savior dear; E’en when my eyes are holden, I know that Thou art near. How dreary and how lonely This changeful life would be, Without the sweet communion, The secret rest with Thee! 5 I could not do without Thee, For years are fleeting fast, And soon in solemn loneliness The river must be passed; But Thou wilt never leave me, And though the waves roll high, I know Thou wilt be near me, And whisper, "It is I."
