[Chorus]
Hail to the Lord’s anointed
Great David’s greater Son
Hail in the time appointed
His reign on earth begun
His reign on earth begun

[Verse 1]
He comes to break oppression
To set the captive free
To take away transgression
And rule in equity

[Chorus]
Hail to the Lord’s anointed
Great David’s greater Son
Hail in the time appointed
His reign on earth begun
His reign on earth begun

[Verse 2]
He comes with comfort speedy to those who suffer wrong
To help the poor and needy
And bid the weak be strong

[Verse 3]
To give them songs for sighing
Their darkness turn to light
Whose souls, condemned and dying
Are precious in His sight
[Chorus]
Hail to the Lord’s anointed
Great David’s greater Son
Hail in the time appointed
His reign on earth begun
His reign on earth begun

[Verse 4]
He shall come down like showers upon the fruitful earth
Love, joy, and hope, like flowers
Spring in His path to birth

[Chorus]
Hail to the Lord’s anointed
Great David’s greater Son
Hail in the time appointed
His reign on earth begun
His reign on earth begun

[Verse 5]
The tide of time shall never His covenant remove
His Name shall stand forever
That Name to us is Love

[Outro]
Oh hail to the Lord’s anointed
Great David’s greater Son
Hail in the time appointed
His reign on earth begun
His reign on earth begun
