Hail to the Lord's Anointed

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: LH1941 #59 (1941) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D 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 joy and 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 Arabia’s desert ranger To Him shall bow the knee, The Ethiopian stranger His glory come to see; With off'rings of devotion Ships from the isles shall meet To pour the wealth of oceans in tribute at His feet. 5 Kings shall fall down before Him, And gold and incense bring; All nations shall adore Him, His praise all peoples sing; To Him shall prayer unceasing, And daily vows ascend, His kingdom still increasing, A kingdom without end. 6 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.

Let us haste, with tears of sorrow, One and all, to be forgiven. 4 That, when next He comes with glory And the world is wrapped in fear He may shield us with His mercy And with words of love draw near. 5 Honor, glory, might, dominion To the Father and the Son, With the everlasting Spirit While eternal ages run!

Speak ye to Jerusalem Of the peace that waits for them; Tell her that her sins I cover, And her warfare now is over. 2 Yea, her sins our God will pardon, Blotting out each dark misdeed; All that well deserved His anger He will not more see or heed. She hath suffered many a day, Now her griefs have passed away; God will change her pining sadness Into ever-springing gladness. 3 Hark, the Herald's voice is crying In the desert far and near, Bidding all men to repentance, Since the Kingdom now is here. Oh, that warning cry obey! Now prepare for God a way! Let the valleys rise to meet Him, And the hills bow down to greet Him. 4 Make ye straight what long was crooked, Make the rougher places plain; Let your hearts be true and humble, As befits His holy reign; For the glory of the Lord Now o'er earth is shed abroad, And all flesh shall see the token That His Word is never broken.

Landstad Hymnal: LH1941 #65 (1941) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 When sinners see their lost condition And feel the pressing load of sin, And Jesus cometh on His mission To heal the sin-sick heart within, All grief must flee before His grace, And joy divine will take its place. 2 When Jesus enters meek and lowly To fill the home with sweetest peace; When hearts have felt His blessing holy And found from sin complete release; Then light and calm within shall reign And hearts divided love again. 3 When Jesus enters land and nation And moves the people with His love; When, yielding to His kind persuasion, Our hearts His truth and blessing prove, Then shall our life on earth be blest, The peace of God on us shall rest. 4 When Jesus comes,--O blessed story!-- He works a change in heart and life; God's kingdom comes with pow'r and glory To young and old, to man and wife; Thro' Sacrament and living Word Faith, love, and hope are now conferred. 5 Then stilled are cries and lamentation, Then loosed is Satan's every band; In death is hope and consolation, The soul is safe in Jesus' hand. When we shall walk through death's dark vale, His rod and staff shall never fail. 6 Oh, may He soon to every nation Find entrance where He is unknown, With life and light and full salvation, That heathendom may be o'erthrown And healing to the hearts may come In heathen land and Christian home!

May not His voice appall us, While slumber binds our breasts! May all our lamps be burning And oil be found in store That we, with Him returning, May open find the door! 2 There shall we see delighted Our dear Redeemer’s face, Who leads our souls benighted To glory by His grace. The patriarchs shall meet us, The prophets’ holy band, Apostles, martyrs, greet us In that celestial land. 3 They will not blush to own us As brothers, sisters dear; Love ever will be shown us When we with them appear. We all shall come before Him, Who for us man became, As Lord and God adore Him, And ever bless His name. 4 Our Father, rich in blessing, Will give us crowns of gold And, to His bosom pressing, Impart a bliss untold, Will welcome with embraces Of never-ending love, And deck us with His graces In blissful realms above. 5 In yonder home shall never Be silent music’s voice; With hearts and lips forever We shall in God rejoice. The angels shall adore Him, All saints shall sing His praise And bring with joy before Him Their sweetest heavenly lays. 6 In mansions fair and spacious Will God the feast prepare And, ever kind and gracious, Bid us its riches share. There bliss that knows no measure From springs of love shall flow, And never-changing pleasure His bounty will bestow. 7 Thus God shall from all evil Forever make us free, From sin, and from the devil, From all adversity, From sickness, pain, and sadness, From troubles, cares, and fears, And grant us heavenly gladness And wipe away our tears.
