Hail to the Lord's Anointed
Second Coming of Christ📖 "The Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings" -Isa 61:1.
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.
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 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, For He shall have dominion O'er river, sea, and shore, Far as the eagle's pinion Or dove's light wing can soar.
