TLH 59, LSB 398 “Hail to the Lord’s Anointed”
A HYMN OF GLORY LET US SING
In the Old Testament, the kings of Israel were anointed to their office. We read of how Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anointed Solomon as king by pouring oil on his head (1 Kings 1:34, 39).

He was also a close friend of Nicolaus Selnecker, one of the authors of the “Formula of Concord”.
