Lord, Thou art God's anointed,
|
|
| 1. | Lord, Thou art God's anointed, |
| | Thou art of kings the King! |
| | Here in full adoration |
| | Our song to Thee we bring! |
| | Thy kingdom is forever, |
| | Established is Thy throne! |
| | Thy reign with love and justice |
| | In glory stands alone! |
| 2. | Upon the hill of Zion |
| | Hath God established Thee |
| | And all the nations given |
| | Thy heritage to be. |
| | To Thee hath God committed |
| | His full authority |
| | To rule with might the nations |
| | Unto eternity. |
| 3. | Before the time of fulness, |
| | While darkness still prevails, |
| | Ten thousands daily render |
| | To Thee their loyal hails! |
| | >From shore to shore Thy people |
| | To Thee their praises sing; |
| | They worship, love, and serve Thee |
| | As their dear Savior-King! |
| 4. | When in the time appointed |
| | With glory Thou wilt come, |
| | The earth with all its nations |
| | Thy kingdom will become. |
| | In majesty and splendor |
| | Wilt Thou be served as King, |
| | All kindreds and all peoples |
| | To Thee their praise shall ring! |
