Lord, Thou art God's anointed

1. God’s anointed

In the divine economy Christ is God’s Anointed, the Messiah. Concerning this, John 1:41 says, “He found first his own brother Simon and said to him, We have found the Messiah (which translated means Christ). ” Messiah is Hebrew; Christ is Greek. Both mean “the anointed. ” Christ is God’s Anointed, the One appointed by God to accomplish God’s purpose, His eternal plan.

In John 20:31 we see that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God: “These have been written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name. ” The Christ is the title of the Lord according to His office, His mission. The Son of God is His title according to His person. He is the Son of God to be the Christ of God.

I have heard and sung this hymn several times in the past 20 odd years that I’ve been in the church life and I have loved it but not as much as I am loving it now. I am deeply moved by the lyrics and wondered who could’ve written such beautiful words and lo and behold…. it was brother Lee. I very rarely make comments on anything but I felt compelled to do this one. Thank You, Lord, for our dear brother Lee.

What a majestic Hymn with such an overarching view of time and place and His coming Kingdom! I also love verse 3–in spite of everything, the Lord has faithful and watching ones praying, longing, looking, and hastening unto His coming! May we be such!

Luke 12:32 - Do not be afraid, little  b flock, because your Father has been  well pleased to give you the kingdom.

This hymn from the Little Flock really tells how the Son of Man came as the slave of God (Gospel of Mark) has been crowned as the King of kings!

This is a wonderful hymn! The Lord Jesus is on the throne! Very encouraging especially during the current pandemic and troubling times. "From shore to shore Thy people to Thee their praises sing." Amen!

(Can also be sung to the tune of hymn #824)

Such a wonderful song! especially in Stanza 3 "from shore to shore thy people..."

Always brings me see saints around the world, all praise the one God in one love!! On the Lord's Day, all saints sit / stands around the Lord's table, through singing and praising to remember His death and resurrection! Hallelujah!

This is such a wonderful hymn worshipping our Savior-King! The hymn is written with such a global view. Our God has given us His heritage - to rule the nations with His authority. What a high aspiration for us to attain! Amen, Lord Jesus - come quickly!
