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.
