Hail to the Lord's Anointed

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 853 hymnals 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, are precious in his sight. 3 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. 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.

New praises sound from day to day and echo through the knowing dark. Without a word their songs roll on; into all lands their voices run. And with a champion’s strength and grace from farthest heav'n comes forth the sun. 2 God’s perfect law revives the soul; its precepts make the simple wise. Its just commands rejoice the heart; its truth gives light unto the eyes. Forever shall this law endure: unblemished, righteous, true, complete. No gold was ever found so fine, no honey in the comb more sweet. 3 God’s servant may I ever be: this world my joy, that Word my guide. O cleanse me, LORD, from secret sin; deliver me from selfish pride. Accept my thoughts and words and deeds; let them find favor in your sight. For you alone can make me whole, O LORD, my refuge and my might.

How Truly Blest Are They

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 117 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How truly blest are they who shun the sinners' ways, among their counsels never stand, nor take the scorners' place, 2 But make the law of God their study and delight amid the labors of the day and watches of the night. 3 He like a tree shall thrive with waters near the root. Fresh as the leaf their name shall live; their works are heav'nly fruit. 4 The wicked are not so! They no such blessing find. Their hopes shall flee like empty chaff before the driving wind. 5 How will they bear to stand before that judgment seat where all the saints at Christ's right hand in full assembly meet? 6 God knows and he approves the way the righteous go, but sinners and their works shall meet a dreadful overthrow.
