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 captives free,
To take away transgression,
And rule in equity.

(Interlude)

2
He shall come down like showers
Upon the fruitful earth,
And 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.

(Interlude)

3
Kings shall bow down before him
And gold and incense bring;
All nations shall adore him,
His praise all people sing;
To him shall prayer unceasing
And daily vows ascend,
His kingdom still increasing,
A kingdom without end.

(Interlude)

4
O’er ev’ry foe victorious,
He 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.

A stable lamp is lighted
Whose glow shall wake the sky;
The stars shall bend their voices,
And every stone shall cry.

2
And every stone shall cry,
And straw like gold shall shine;
A barn shall harbor heaven,
A stall become a shrine.

3
This child through David’s city
Shall ride in triumph by;
The palm shall strew its branches,
And every stone shall cry.

4
And every stone shall cry,
Though heavy, dull, and dumb,
And lie within the roadway
To pave his kingdom come.

(Interlude)

5
Yet he shall be forsaken,
And yielded up to die;
The sky shall groan and darken,
And every stone shall cry.

6
And every stone shall cry,
For hearts made hard by sin:
God’s blood upon the spearhead,
God’s love refused again.

(Interlude)

7 But now, as at the ending,
The low is lifted high;
The stars shall bend their voices,
And every stone shall cry.

8
And every stone shall cry,
In praises of the child
By whose descent among us
The worlds are reconciled.

When Jesus came to Jordan

But as the Father’s Son.

He came to share repentance
With all who mourn their sins,
To speak the vital sentence
With which good news begins.

He came to share temptation,
Our utmost woe and loss;
For us and our salvation
To die upon the cross.

The hidden years had ended,
The age of grace began.

YOU WALK ALONG OUR SHORELINE

Tune: PASTOR BONUS 

Meter: 7 6 7 6

Text: Sylvia Dunstan, 1955-1993
Music: Fr. J. Roel Lungay, b. 1960

Orchestration by Romeo Mascarinas

1
You walk along our shoreline
When land meets unknown sea.
We hear your voice of power,
“Now come and follow me.
And if you still will follow
Through storm and wave and shoal,
Then I will make you fishers
But of the human soul.”

(Interlude)

2
You call us, Christ, to gather
The people of the earth.
We cannot fish for only
Those lives we think have worth.
We spread your net of gospel
Across the water’s face,
Our boat a common shelter
For all found by your grace.

(Interlude)

3
We cast our net, O Jesus;
We cry the kingdom’s name;
We work for love and justice;
We learn to hope through pain.
You call us, Lord, to gather
God’s daughters and God’s sons,
To let your judgment heal us
So that all may be one.

In her fond arms at rest.
