Hail to the Lord's Anointed Lyrics

Hail to the Lord's anointed

Great David's greater Son

Hail, in the time appointed

Your reign on earth begun

You come to break oppression

To set the captive free

To take away transgression

And rule in equity

You come 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

Are precious in your sight

You shall come down like showers

Upon the fruitful earth

Love, joy, and hope, like flowers

Spring in your path to birth

Before you on the mountains

Shall peace, the herald, go

And righteousness in fountains

Form hill to valley flow

Kings shall fall down before you

And gold and incense bring

All nations shall adore you

Your praise all people sing

To you shall prayer unceasing

And daily vows ascend

Your kingdom still increasing

A kingdom without end
