Thus Saith God of His Anointed

Thus saith God of His An­oint­ed:

He shall let My peo­ple go;

’Tis the work for Him ap­point­ed

’Tis the work that He shall do;

And My ci­ty

He shall found

and build it

too.

He whom man with scorn re­fus­es

Whom the fa­vored na­tion hates

He it is Je­ho­vah choos­es

Him the high­est place awaits;

Kings and princ­es

Shall do hom­age at His gates.

He shall hum­ble all the scorn­ers

He shall fill His foes with shame;

He shall rise and com­fort mourn­ers

By the sweet­ness of His name;

To the cap­tives

He shall li­ber­ty pro­claim.

He shall ga­ther those that wan­dered;

When they hear the trum­pet’s sound

They shall join the sac­red stan­dard

They shall come and flock around;

He shall save them:

They shall be with glo­ry crowned.
