The God Whom Earth and Sea and Sky
Author: John Mason Neale (1818-1866); Venantius Fortunatus (540?-600?) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 37 hymnals First Line: The God whom earth and sea and sky Lyrics: 1 The God, whom earth and sea and sky
adore and laud and magnify,
whose might they own, whose praise they swell,
in Mary's womb vouchsafed to dwell.
2 The Lord, whom sun and moon obey,
whom all things serve from day to day,
was borne upon a maiden's breast
who fullest heavenly grace possessed.
3 How blest that mother, in whose shrine
the world's Creator, Lord divine,
whose hand contains the earth and sky,
vouchsafed, as in his ark, to lie;
4 blest in the message Gabriel brought,
blest by the work the Spirit wrought;
from whom the great Desire of earth,
took human flesh and human birth.
5 O Lord, the virgin-born, to thee
eternal praise and glory be,
whom in the Godhead we adore
forever and for evermore. Topics: Mary Scripture: Psalm 45 Used With Tune: O AMOR QUAM ECSTATICUS
The God Whom Earth and Sea and Sky
O Glorious King of Martyr Hosts
Author: Anonymous; Richard F. Littledale and others Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O glorious King of martyr hosts,
Thou crown that each confessor boasts,
Who leadest to celestial day
The saints who cast earth’s joys away;
2. Thine ear in mercy, Savior, lend,
While unto Thee our prayers ascend;
And as we count their triumphs won,
Forgive the sins that we have done.
3. Martyrs in Thee their triumph gain,
Confessors grace from Thee obtain;
We sinners humbly seek to Thee,
From sin’s offense to set us free.
4. All laud to God the Father be,
All praise, eternal Son, to Thee;
All glory, as is ever meet,
To God the holy Paraclete. Used With Tune: REX GLORIOSE
O Glorious King of Martyr Hosts
