Hail to the Lord's Anointed

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #115 (1997) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Processionals 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 brings salvation speedy to those who suffer wrong; he saves the poor and needy, and helps the weak be strong; they sing who once were sighing, their darkness turned to light, for they, who once were dying, are precious in his sight. 3 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. 4 All powers shall bow 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. 5 O'er every foe victorious, Christ 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.

Fellow Christians, Let Us Gather

Author: C. K. Solberg Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #116 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Processionals and Recessionals Missions Lyrics: 1 Fellow Christians, let us gather Round the banner of the cross. We must win the unchurched millions, Lest they suffer endless loss. Multitudes are daily drifting Into ways of sin and shame; Christ Himself calls ev'ry Christian Straying sinners to reclaim. 2 We must hear and heed the challenge And the urgent call obey, Coming from our teeming cities, To regain without delay Wayward brethren, errant sisters, Groping in the night of sin; Jesus bids us go and seek them And compel them to come in. 3 As we view the unsaved masses, Who like sheep have gone astray, We must meet them with compassion Lest they perish by the way. In the heart of crowded cities Where the pow'rs of evil reign, We must carry on our mission Unsaved sinners to regain. 4 Let us not, like priest and Levite, Coldly pass the wretched by; What we preach, that let us practice, Lest our lives our lips deny; Let us be our brother's keeper, Prove our faith by works of love; Saved to serve, be this our watchword, Till we join the hosts above. 5 We beseech Thee, blessed Savior, Ev'ry Christian's heart control With an ever present passion For the unconverted soul. O baptize with Thy good Spirit Ev'ry member of Thy fold! Bless the labors of Thy servants As on Pentecost of old! Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: BEECHER

O God, Our Help in Ages Past

O God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, our shelter from the stormy blast, and our eternal home! 2. Under the shadow of thy throne, still may we dwell secure; sufficient is thine arm alone, and our defense is sure. 3. Before the hills in order stood, or earth received her frame, from everlasting, thou art God, to endless years the same. 4. A thousand ages, in thy sight, are like an evening gone; short as the watch that ends the night, before the rising sun. 5. Time, like an ever rolling stream, bears all who breathe away; they fly forgotten, as a dream dies at the opening day. 6. O God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come; be thou our guide while life shall last, and our eternal home. Scripture: Psalm 90 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ANNE (Croft)
