The Blessings of Immanuel's Reign

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Liberality First Line: O God, be Thy Anointed Son Lyrics: 1 O God, be Thy Anointed Son With truth and righteousness endowed, That justice may on earth be done, The meek protected from the proud. 2 Then over mountain side and plain Shall peace spring forth from righteousness; The poor man's cause will He maintain, And save the week, that none oppress. 3 Then shall Thy fear on earth be known Long as the sun and moon shall shine; While endless generations run Kingdom and glory shall be Thine. 4 Like copious rain in time of dearth, So shall His gracious coming be; As gentle show'rs that cheer the earth, So He shall bring prosperity. 5 The just shall flourish in His day, And evermore shall peace extend; From sea to sea shall be His sway, And to the earth's remotest end. 6 The desert lands to Him shall bow, And all the islands of the sea, And kings with gifts shall pay their vow, His enemies shall bend the knee. 7 In great compassion for the weak He ever will maintain their right, Will help the poor and save the meek; Their lives are precious in His sight. Scripture: Psalm 72 Used With Tune: HURSLEY

Faber Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 917 hymnals Topics: Freedom and Liberation Lyrics: 1 There’s a wideness in God’s mercy like the wideness of the sea; there’s a kindness in God's justice, which is more than liberty. 2 There is welcome for the sinner, and more graces for the good! There is mercy with the Savior; there is healing in his blood. 3 For the love of God is broader than the measure of our mind; and the heart of the Eternal is most wonderfully kind. 4 If our love were but more simple, we should rest upon God's word; and our lives would be illumined by the presence of our Lord.
