Hail to the Lord's Anointed
Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 843 hymnals Topics: The Celebration of the Gospel Story Advent 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 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.
3 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.
4 To Him shall prayer unceasing
And daily vows ascend;
His kingdom still increasing,
A kingdom without end:
The tide of time shall never
His covenant remove,
His name shall stand forever;
That Name to us is Love. Scripture: Luke 4:18 Used With Tune: SHEFFIELD

With grief and shame weighed down,
Now scornfully surrounded,
With thorns, Thine only crown;
O sacred Head, what glory,
What bliss till now was Thine!
Yet, though despised and gory,
I joy to call Thee mine!
2 What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered
Was all for sinners' gain;
Mine, mine was the transgression,
But Thine the deadly pain.
Lo, here I fall, my Savior!
'Tis I deserve Thy place;
Look on me with Thy favor,
Vouchsafe to me Thy grace.
3 The joy can ne'er be spoken,
Above all joys beside,
When in Thy body broken
I thus with safety hide.
My Lord of life, desiring
Thy glory now to see,
Beside the cross expiring,
I'd breathe my soul to Thee.
4 What language shall I borrow,
To thank Thee, dearest Friend,
For this Thy dying sorrow,
Thy pity without end?
Oh, make me Thine forever;
And should I fainting be,
Lord, let me never, never
Outlive my love to Thee. Scripture: Mark 15:17-18 Used With Tune: PASSION CHORALE

But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes.

And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh.

Close by me for ever, and love me, I pray.
Bless all the dear children in Your tender care,
And fit us for heaven, to live with You there. Scripture: Luke 2:7 Used With Tune: CRADEL SONG

I will ever give to Thee. Scripture: Exodus 13:21-22 Used With Tune: ZION

For sinners such as I!

Amazing pity! Grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!

And shut its glories in,
When God, the great Redeemer, died
For human creatures' sin.

The debt of love I owe;
Here, Lord, I give myself away;
'Tis all that I can do. Scripture: Romans 5:8 Used With Tune: MARTYRDOM
