CRüGER. (7 6. 7 6. D.) 𝅗𝅥=80. Adapted by William Henry Monk from a
Chorale by Johann Crüger (1598-1002),

James Montgomery (1771-1854). Psalm lxxii.

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 let the captive free,
To take away transgression,
And rule in equity.

He comes with succour speedy
To those who suffer wrong;
To help the poor and needy,
And bid the weak be strong;
