Hail to the Lord’s Anointed 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 shall come down like showers upon the fruitful earth, and love, joy, hope, like flowers, spring in his path to birth; before him on mountains shall peace the herald go: and righteousness in fountains from hill to valley flow.
3. 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.
4. O’er every foe victorious, he on his throne shall rest, from age to age more glorious, all-blessing and all-blest; the tide of time shall never his covenant remove his name shall stand forever, that name to us is love.
