"Hail to the Lord's Anointed"

"Hail to the Lord's Anointed" was one of the hymns on Worship Anew this week.  I noticed some phrases in the second verse that aren't directly from the Bible (I wrote about the Biblical sources for the hymn in this post) but that do seem to echo Biblical passages.  Here's the first half of the verse:

He shall come down like showers

Upon the fruitful earth;

Love, joy, and hope, like flowers,

Spring in His path to birth.

The lines "He shall come down like showers / Upon the fruitful earth" have some similarity to Isaiah 55:10-11:  "10 'For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, 11 so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.'"  The image of rain coming down to earth is the same, but the hymn describes The Word instead of the more general word of Isaiah 55.

The phrase "Love, joy, and hope" in the third line is similar to but not exactly the same as the list of qualities in 1 Corinthians 13:13:  "So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love."  The hymn has "joy" instead of "faith."
