Hail to the Lord's Anointed
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 843 hymnals Topics: Biblical Characters David 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 Kings shall fall down before him,
and gold and incense bring;
all nations shall adore him,
his praise all people sing;
for he shall have dominion
o'er river, sea, and shore,
far as the eagle's pinion
or dove's light wing can soar.
3 He shall come down like showers
upon the fruitful earth,
and love, joy, 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 O'er every 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.

when half spent was the night.

with Mary we behold it,
the virgin mother kind.
To show God's love aright
she bore for us a Saviour
when half-spent was the night.

dans la nuit calme et claire,
une rose a fleuri.

de nombreux serviteurs,
à son peuple en attente,
promettait un Sauveur.

chez une humble servante,
toute à son pur bonheur. Used With Tune: ES IST EIN' ROS Text Sources: German, 15th century

and offered there in his presence,
their gold and myrrh and frankincense. [Refrain]

and with his blood our life hath bought. [Refrain] Used With Tune: THE FIRST NOWELL Text Sources: English traditional carol, ca. 17th century

O Wondrous Sight, O Vision Fair
Author: J. Neale Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 103 hymnals Topics: Biblical Characters Elijah; Biblical Characters Moses Lyrics:
1 O wondrous sight, O vision fair
of glory that the church shall share,
which Christ upon the mountain shows,
where brighter than the sun he glows!
2 From age to age the tale declares
how with the three disciples there,
where Moses and Elijah meet,
the Lord holds converse high and sweet.
3 The law and prophets there have place,
two chosen witnesses of grace;
the Father’s voice from out the cloud
proclaims his only Son aloud.
4 With shining face and bright array
Christ deigns to manifest today
what glory shall be theirs above
who joy in God with perfect love.
5 And faithful hearts are raised on high
by this great vision’s mystery,
for which in joyful strains we raise
the voice of prayer, the hymn of praise.
