The Welcome Wagon - Hail to the Lord's Annointed lyrics

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 He comes, with succour speedy To those who suffer wrong; To help the poor and needy And bid the weak be strong; To give them songs for singing Their darkness turn to light Whose souls, condemned and dying Were precious in his sight He shall come down like showers Upon the fruitful earth; Love, joy, and hope, like flowers Spring in his path to birth; Before him, on the mountains Shall peace the herald go; And righteousness, like fountains From hill to valley flow To Him shall prayer 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 for ever His Name alone is love
