Sing, My Tongue, How Glorious Battle

Author: Venantius Fortunatus Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: Part I 1 Sing, my tongue, how glorious battle glorious victory became; and above the cross, his trophy, tell the triumph and the fame, tell how he, the world's Redeemer, by his death for us o'ercame. 2 God in pity saw us fallen, shamed and sunk in misery, when we fell on death by tasting fruit of the forbidden tree: then another tree was chosen which the world from death should free. 3 Thus the scheme of our salvation was of old in order laid, that the manifold deceiver's art by art might be outweighed, and the lure the foe put forward into means of healing made. 4 Therefore, when the appointed fullness of the holy time was come, he was sent, who maketh all things, forth from God's eternal home; thus he came to earth incarnate, offspring of a virgin's womb. Part II 5 Thirty years among us dwelling, his appointed time fulfilled, born for this, he meets his Passion, for that this he freely willed: on the cross the Lamb is lifted, where his life-blood shall be spilled. 6 Faithful cross! above all other, one and only noble tree! None in foliage, none in blossom, none in fruit thy peer may be! Sweetest wood and sweetest iron! Sweetest weight is hung on thee. 7 Thou alone wast counted worthy this world's ransom to uphold; for a shipwrecked race preparing harbor, like the ark of old; with the sacred blood anointed from the smitten Lamb that rolled. 8 To the Trinity be glory everlasting, as is meet; equal to the Father, equal to the Son and Paraclete: Trinal Unity, whose praises all created things repeat.

Earth was waiting, spent and restless

Author: Walter Chalmers Smith (1824-1908) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Earth was waiting, spent and restless, with a mingled hope and fear, faithful men and women praying, 'Surely, Lord, the day is near: the Desire of all the nations — it is time he should appear!' 2 Then the Spirit of the Highest to a virgin meek came down, and he burdened her with blessing, and he pained her with renown; for she bore the Lord's anointed for his cross and for his crown. 3 Earth has groaned and laboured for him since the ages first began, for in him was hid the secret which through all the ages ran — Son of Mary, Son of David, Son of God, and Son of Man.

Neale, 1818-66 Appears in 60 hymnals First Line: Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle Lyrics: Faithful Cross! above all other, One and only noble Tree! None in foliage, none in blossom, None in fruit thy peer may be Sweetest wood and sweetest iron, Sweetest weight is hung on thee. 1 Sing, my tongue, how glorious battle, Sing the ending of the fray, O'er the Cross, the victor's trophy, Sound the loud triumphant lay: Tell how Christ, the world's Redeemer, As a Victim won the day. 2 God in pity saw man fallen, Shamed and sunk in misery, When he fell on death by tasting Fruit of the forbidden tree: Then another tree was chosen Which the world from death should free. 3 Therefore when the appointed fullness Of the holy time was come, He was sent who maketh all things Forth from God's eternal home: Thus he came to earth, incarnate, Offspring of a maiden's womb. 4 Thirty years among us dwelling, Now at length his hour fulfilled, Born for this, he meets his Passion, For that this he freely willed, On the Cross the Lamb is lifted, Where his life-blood shall be spilled. 5 Bend thy boughs, O Tree of Glory, Thy too rigid sinews bend; For awhile the ancient rigour That thy birth bestowed, suspend, And the King of heavenly beauty On thy bosom gently tend. 6 Thou alone wast counted worthy This world's Ransom to sustain, That a shipwrecked race might ever Thus a port of refuge gain, With the sacred blood anointed From the Lamb for sinners slain. 7 He endured the nails, the spitting, Vinegar and spear and reed; From that holy Body pierced Blood and water forth proceed: Earth and stars and sky and ocean By that flood from stain are freed. 8 To the Trinity be glory, To the Father and the Son, With the co-eternal Spirit, Ever Three and ever One, One in love and one in splendour, While unending ages run. Amen. Topics: Good Friday Used With Tune: PICARDY
