about

Text: 1912 Psalter
Music: Gregory Wilbur

lyrics

O God, to Thine anointed King
Give truth and righteousness
Thy people He will justly judge
And give the poor redress
Then every fruitful mountainside
Shall yield its rich increase
nd righteousness in all the land
Shall bear the fruit of peace

The poor man’s cause He will maintain
The needy He will bless
And He will break the strength of those
Who would the poor oppress
So men shall fear Thee while the sun
In daily splendor glows
And through all ages, while the moon
On earth its light bestows

Like rain upon the newborn grass
That falls refreshingly
Like gentle showers that cheer the earth
So shall His coming be
The righteous in His glorious day
Shall flourish and increase
The earth, until the moon shall fade
Shall have abundant peace
