Hail to the Lord's Anointed

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 842 hymnals Matching Instances: 7 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 succor 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 To him shall prayer unceasing And daily vows ascend; His kingdom still increasing, A kingdom without end: The tide of time shall never His covenant remove, His name shall stand forever; That name to us is Love.

The Joyful Morn Is Breaking

Author: Benjamin Gough Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 29 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. The joyful morn is breaking, the brightest morn on earth, Through all creation waking the joy of Jesus’ birth. His star above is glistening, where Jesus cradled lies, And all the earth is listening, the carol of the skies. 2. High strains of praise are swelling, from angel hosts on high, And one soft voice is telling glad tidings from the sky; Tidings of free salvation, of peace on earth below, Through every land and nation, the blessèd word shall go. 3. His children’s songs shall name Him in many a tongue today; His Church shall yet proclaim Him to people far away; Till idols fall before Him, till strife and wrong shall cease, Till all the earth adore Him, th’eternal Prince of Peace.

Going Home

Author: Miss Mennel Appears in 32 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 First Line: We have no home but Heaven Lyrics: 1 We have no home but Heaven; A pilgrim’s garb we wear; Our path is marked with changes, And strewed with many a care; Surrounded with temptation, By varied ills oppressed, Each day’s experience Warns us that this is not our rest. 2 We have no home but Heaven; Then wherefore seek one here? Why murmur at privation? Or grieve when trouble’s near? It is but for a season That we as strangers roam; And strangers must not look for The comforts of a home. 3 We have no home but Heaven; We want no home beside; Our God, our friend and father, Our footsteps thither guide. Unfold to us its glory; Prepare us for its joy, Its pure and perfect friendship, Its angel-like employ. 4 We have no home but Heaven. How cheering is the thought! How bright the expectations Which God’s own Word has taught! With eager hearts we hasten, The promised bliss to share; We have no home but Heaven— Oh, would that we were there!
