Hail to the Lord's Anointed

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #87 (1978) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Topics: Epiphany 5 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 rescue 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 Kings shall fall down before him, And gold and incense bring; All nations shall adore him, His praise all people sing. To him shall prayer unceasing And daily vows ascend; His kingdom still increasing, A kingdom without end. Languages: English Tune Title: FREUT EUCH, IHR LIEBEN
