Hail to the Lord's anointed

- 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.
- He comes, with succour 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.
- He shall come down like showers
- Upon the fruitful earth;
- Love, joy and 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.
- 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.
- O'er every foe victorious,
- He on His throne shall rest;
- From age to age more glorious,
- All-blessing and all-blessed.
- The tide of time shall never
- His covenant remove;
- His name shall stand forever,
- His changeless name of Love
