  1. 1Hail to the Lord's Anointed,
  2. Great David's greater Son!
  3. Hail, in the time appointed,
  4. His reign on earth begun;
  5. He comes to break oppression,
  6. To set the captive free,
  7. To take away transgression
  8. And rule in equity.
  9. 2He comes with succor speedy
  10. To those who suffer wrong;
  11. To help the poor and needy
  12. And bid the weak be strong;
  13. To give them songs for sighing,
  14. Their darkness turn to light,
  15. Whose souls, condemned and dying,
  16. Were precious in His sight.
  17. 3He shall come down like showers
  18. Upon the fruitful earth;
  19. And love and joy, like flowers,
  20. Spring in His path to birth:
  21. Before Him on the mountains
  22. Shall peace, the herald, go;
  23. And righteousness in fountains
  24. From hill to valley flow.
  25. 4To Him shall prayer unceasing
  26. And daily vows ascend;
  27. His kingdom still increasing,
  28. A kingdom without end:
  29. The tide of time shall never
  30. His covenant remove;
  31. His name shall stand forever;
  32. That name to us is Love.
  33. 5Amen.
