22152. HAIL TO THE LORD'S ANOINTED
Lyrics & Stanzas
3 portions
Verse 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.
Verse 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, Are precious in His sight.
Verse 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.
