Product Description
This is a dramatic and energetic Christmas anthem with hints of Copland throughout. Although this text has traditionally been sung at Christmas, there is nothing textually that prevents it from being used year round.
Lyrics
Hail to the Lord's Anointed, Great David's greater Son!
Who, 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.
He comes with justice 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.
Hail to the Lord's Anointed!
Hail to God's own Son!
He shall come down like showers Upon the fruitful earth;
And love 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.
Hail to the Lord's Anointed!
Hail to God's own Son!
For Him shall prayers 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!
His name shall stand forever, His name is Love!
