Hail, in the time appointed, your reign on earth begun! You come to break oppression, to set the captive free, to take away transgression, and rule in equity. 2 You come 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 your sight. 3 You shall come down like showers upon the fruitful earth; love, joy, and hope, like flowers, spring in your path to birth. Before you on the mountains shall peace, the herald, go, and righteousness in fountains from hill to valley flow. 4 Kings shall fall down before you, and gold and incense bring; all nations shall adore you, your praise all people sing. To you shall prayer unceasing and daily vows ascend, your kingdom still increasing, a kingdom without end. Scripture: Psalm 72 Used With Tune: ES FLOG EIN KLEINS WALDVÖGELEIN

Author: John Mason Neale, D. D. Appears in 178 hymnals Topics: The Church Year Sylvester Eve Lyrics: 1 Holy Father, Thou hast taught us We should live to Thee alone; Year by year, Thy hand hath brought us On thro' dangers oft unknown. When we wandered Thou hast found us, When we doubted, sent us light; Still Thine arm has been around us, All our paths were in Thy sight. 2 In the world will foes assail us, Craftier, stronger far than we; And the strife will never fail us, Till our death shall set us free. Therefore, Lord, we come believing Thou canst give the power we need, Through the prayer of faith receiving Strength, the Spirit’s strength, indeed. 3 We would trust in Thy protecting, Wholly rest upon Thine arm, Follow wholly Thy directing, Thou our only guard from harm; Keep us from our own undoing, Help us turn to Thee when tried; Still our footsteps, Father! viewing, Keep us ever at Thy side.
