Hail to the Lord’s Anointed,
\ngreat David’s greater Son!
\nHail in the time appointed,
\nhis reign on earth begun!
\nHe comes to break oppression,
\nto set the captive free;
\nto take away transgression,
\nand rule in equity.<\/p>\n

He comes with succor speedy
\nto those who suffer wrong;
\nto help the poor and needy,
\nand bid the weak be strong;
\nto give them songs for sighing,
\ntheir darkness turn to light,
\nwhose souls, condemned and dying,
\nare precious in his sight.<\/p>\n

He shall come down like showers
\nupon the fruitful earth;
\nlove, joy, and hope, like flowers,
\nspring in his path to birth.
\nBefore him on the mountains,
\nshall peace, the herald, go,
\nand righteousness, in fountains,
\nfrom hill to valley flow.<\/p>\n

To him shall prayer unceasing
\nand daily vows ascend;
\nhis kingdom still increasing,
\na kingdom without end.
\nThe tide of time shall never
\nhis covenant remove;
\nhis name shall stand forever;
\nthat name to us is love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
