Author: Thomas Kelly Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #14688 Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1 Thus saith God of His Anointed:
"He shall let My people go;
’Tis the work for Him appointed,
’Tis the work that He shall do;
And My city
He shall found, and build it, too."
2 He whom man with scorn refuses,
Whom the favored nation hates,
He it is Jehovah chooses,
Him the highest place awaits;
Kings and princes
Shall do homage at His gates.
3 He shall humble all the scorners,
He shall fill His foes with shame;
He shall rise and comfort mourners
By the sweetness of His name;
To the captives
He shall liberty proclaim.
4 He shall gather those that wandered;
When they hear the trumpet’s sound,
They shall join the sacred standard,
They shall come and flock around;
He shall save them:
They shall be with glory crowned. Languages: English Tune Title: KELVEDEN
