Hail to the Lord's Anointed

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 865 hymnals Topics: Occasional Services Civic / National Occasions Lyrics: 1 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. 2 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. 3 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 from hill to valley flow. 4 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. Scripture: Psalm 72 Used With Tune: ES FLOG EIN KLEINS WALDVÖGELEIN

Your hand, O God, has guided

Author: Edward Hayes Plumptre, 1821-91 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 61 hymnals Topics: National Life Lyrics: 1 Your hand, O God, has guided your flock from age to age; the wondrous tale is written full clear, on every page. your people owed your goodness, and we their deeds accord; and both of this bear witness: one church, one faith, one Lord. 2 Your heralds brought glad tidings to greatest, as to least; they bade them rise, and hasten to share the great king's feast; and this was all their teaching, in every deed and word, to all alike proclaiming one church, one faith, one Lord. 3 Through many a day of darkness, through many a scene of strife, the faithful few fought bravely to guard the nation's life. Their gospel of redemption, sin pardoned, earth restored, was all in this enfolded: one church, one faith, one Lord. 4 Your mercy will not fail us, nor leave your work undone; with your right hand to help us the victory shall be won; and then by all creation your name shall be adored, and this shall be our anthem: one church, one faith, one Lord. Scripture: Ephesians 4:1-6 Used With Tune: THORNBURY
