HAIL TO THE LORD'S ANOINTED
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, 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.
