Millennium Superworld
Chapter 11: Millennial Questionnaire
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 trangression
And rule in equity.
He comes with succor 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,
Who languishing and sighing
Are perishing from sight.
He shall come down like showers
Upon the fruitful earth,
And love, joy, hope like flowers
Spring in His path to birth;
Before Him on the mountains
Shall peace, the herald, go;
And righteousness in fountains
From hill to valley flow.
Kings shall bow down before Him,
And gold and incense bring;
All nations shall adore Him,
His praise all people sing;
O’er every foe victorious,
He on His throne shall rest;
From age to age more glorious,
All blessing and all-blest!
