Hail to the Lord's Anointed
Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 843 hymnals Scripture: 2 Samuel 7:12 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 comes 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,
Were precious in His sight.
3 He shall come down like showers
Upon the fruitful earth;
Love, 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.
4 Kings shall fall 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.
5 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. Topics: Psalm paraphrase Psalm 72 Used With Tune: FREUT EUCH, IHR LIEBEN

Thy mercies, O my God;
And tell the riches of thy grace--
The merits of thy blood.
2 With Israel's King, my heart would cry,
While I review thy ways,
Tell my, my Saviour, who am I,
That I should see thy face?
3 Form'd by thine hand, and form'd for thee,
I would be ever thine:
My Saviour, make my spirit free,
With beams of mercy shine.
4 Fain would my soul with rapture dwell
On thy redeeming grace;
O for a thousand tongues to tell
My dear Redeemer's praise.

The day thou gavest, Lord, is ended
Author: John Ellerton, 1826-1893 Meter: 9.8.9.8 Appears in 282 hymnals Scripture: 2 Samuel 7:13 Lyrics: 1 The day thou gavest, Lord, is ended,
the darkness falls at thy behest;
to thee our morning hymns ascended,
thy praise shall sanctify our rest.
2 We thank thee that thy Church unsleeping,
while earth rolls onward into light,
through all the world her watch is keeping,
and rests not now by day or night.
3 As o'er each continent and island
the dawn leads on another day,
the voice of prayer is never silent,
nor dies the strain of praise away.
4 The sun that bids us rest is waking
our brethren 'neath the western sky,
and hour by hour fresh lips are making
thy wondrous doings heard on high.
5 So be it, Lord: thy throne shall never,
like earth's proud empires, pass away;
thy kingdom stands, and grows for ever,
till all thy creatures own thy sway. Topics: Evening; Funerals, Commemoration, Remembrance and All Souls Used With Tune: ST. CLEMENT
