Hail To The Lord's Anointed

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 846 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 To Him shall prayer unceasing And daily vows ascend; His kingdom still increasing, A kingdom without end: The tide of time shall never His covenant remove; His name shall stand forever; That name to us is Love. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Advent; Processionals and Recessionals Advent Used With Tune: WESTWOOD

On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand. 2 When darkness veils His lovely face I rest on His unchanging grace; In ev'ry high and stormy gale, My anchor holds within the veil. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand. 3 His oath, His covenant and blood, Support me in the raging flood; When ev'ry earthly prop gives way, He then is all my hope and stay. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand. 4 When judgment's trump at last shall sound, O may I then in Him be found; Dressed in His righteousness alone, I faultless stand before the throne. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand. Amen. Topics: The Means of Grace The Redeemer Used With Tune: MELITA

In Thy service, pain is pleasure; With Thy favor, loss is gain. I have called Thee Abba, Father! I have stayed my heart on Thee: Storms may howl, and clouds may gather, All must work for good to me. 3 Haste, my soul, from grace to glory, Armed by faith and winged by prayer; Heav'n's eternal day's before thee, God's own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall close thy earthly mission, Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days; Hope soon change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.

All my trust on Thee is stayed, All my help from Thee I bring; Cover my defenseless head With the shadow of Thy wing. 3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want, More than all in Thee I find; Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, Heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is Thy name, I am all unrighteousness; False and full of sin I am, Thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with Thee is found, Grace to cover all my sin; Let the healing streams abound, Make and keep me pure within.
