Lyrics
Verse 1
Hail the rightful ruler: Christ who came to save! King of truth and justice, Lord of love and grace. He who bore the cross to bring his people peace, broke the chains of sin and set the captive free.
Chorus 1
He is making all things right; he is making all things right.
Verse 2
Hail the humble shepherd, bending low to serve. Bread for all our hunger, water for our thirst. He who helps his neighbor loves the least of these, welcomes in the stranger, sets the captive free.
Chorus 2
He is making all things right; he is making all things right. In his goodness, in his time, he is making all things right.
Verse 3
Hail the coming Savior: hope of ev'ry heart, healer of the nations, bright and morning star. He will win the battle, put the world at peace, finally and forever set the captive free!
