If HAIL to the Lord's Anointed, Great David's greater Son ! 2 mf He comes with succour speedy And bid the weak be strong; cres To give them songs for sighing, Their darkness turn to light, dim Whose souls, condemned and dying, mf Were precious in His sight. 3 mf By such shall He be feared While sun and moon endure, endureth." 4 He shall come down like showers Upon the fruitful earth; cres And love, joy, hope, like flowers, 5 mf Kings shall fall down before Him cres For He shall have dominion Or dove's light wing, can soar. 6 For Him shall prayer unceasing And daily vows ascend, cres His kingdom still increasing, A kingdom without end: mf The mountain-dews shall nourish A seed, in weakness sown, cres Whose fruit shall spread and flourish And shake like Lebanon. 195 "We are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses." If FOR all the saints, who from their lábours 5 rest, Who Thee by faith before the world cres confessed, Thy name, O Jesus, be for éver blest. Hallelujah! And when the strife is fierce, the wárfare long, [song, Steals on the ear the distant tríumph. ƒ And hearts are brave again, and árms are strong! Hallelujah! 2 ƒ Thou wast their rock, their fortress, ánd 6mfThe golden evening brightens in the their might; [fought fight; west; [rest; Thou, Lord, their Captain in the well-dim Soon, soon, to faithful warriors cómeth Thou, in the darkness drear, their óne Sweet is the calm of Paradise the blest. Hallelujah! true light. ƒ But lo! there breaks a yet more glórious The saints triumphant rise in bright array; 8ff From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's Through gates of pearl streams in the Singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost- I mf WHEN the weary, seeking rest, All their load on Thee; cres Hear then in love, O Lord, the cry, When the prodigal looks back To his Father's love; mf When the proud man, in his pride, Stoops to seek Thy face; When the burdened brings his guilt To Thy throne of grace: cres Hear then in love, O Lord, the cry, dim In heaven, Thy dwelling-place on high. 3 mf When the stranger asks a home, And the poor a friend; Bows the fervent knee; cres Hear then in love, O Lord, the cry, When the shepherd on the moor, Name the blessed name: cres Hear then in love, O Lord, the cry, dim In heaven, Thy dwelling-place on high. |
