The Reign of Christ

Verse 1

O God, to Thy Anointed King Give truth and righteousness; Thy people He will justly judge And give the poor redress. Then every fruitful mountain side Shall yield its rich increase, And righteousness in all the land Shall bear the fruit of peace.

Verse 2

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 wile the sun In daily splendor glows, And through all ages, while the moon On earth its light bestows.

Verse 3

Like rain upon the new-mown 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.
