As Royal Banners Are Unfurled

Author: Venantius Fortunatus (540?-600?); Alan Gaunt (1935-) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 As royal banners are unfurled, the cross displays its mystery: the Maker of our flesh, in flesh, impaled and hanging helplessly. 2 Already deeply wounded: see his side now riven by a spear, and all our sins are swept away by blood and water flowing here. 3 See everything the prophets wrote fulfilled in its totality, and tell the nations of the world our God is reigning from the tree. 4 This tree, ablaze with royal light and with the blood-red robe it wears, is hallowed and embellished by the weight of holiness it bears. 5 Stretched like a balance here, his arms have gauged the price of wickedness; but, hanging here, his love outweighs hell's unforgiving bitterness. 6 The Saviour, victim, sacrifice is, through his dying glorified; his life is overcome by death and leaps up, sweeping death aside. 7 We hail the cross, faith's one true hope: God's passion set in time and space, by which our guilt is blotted out, engulfed in such stupendous grace. Amen. Topics: Holy Week (Good Friday) Scripture: John 18:33-37 Used With Tune: GONFALON ROYAL
