Sing, My Tongue

Author: Venantius Honorius fortunatus, 530-609; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Worship #356 (2006) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Holy Cross Day; Holy Week, Three Days; Holy Cross Day; Holy Week, Three Days First Line: Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle Lyrics: 1 Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle; tell the triumph far and wide; tell aloud the wondrous story of the cross, the Crucified; tell how Christ, the world's redeemer, vanquished death the day he died. 2 God in mercy saw us fallen, sunk in shame and misery, felled to death in Eden's garden, where in pride we claimed the tree; then another tree was chosen, which the world from death would free. 3 Tell how, when at length the fullness of the appointed time was come, Christ, the Word, was born of woman, left for us the heav'nly home, blazed the path of true obedience, shone as light amidst the gloom. 4 Thirty years among us dwelling, Jesus went from Nazareth, destined, dedicated, willing, did his work, and met his death; like a lamb he humbly yielded on the cross his dying breath. 5 Bend your boughs, O tree of glory, your relaxing sinews bend; for a while the ancient rigor that your birth bestowed, suspend; and the Lord of heav'nly beauty gently on your arms extend. 6 Faithful cross, true sign of triumph, be for all the noblest tree; none in foliage, none in blossom, none in fruit your equal be; symbol of the world's redemption, for your burden makes us free. 7 Unto God be praise and glory; to the Father and the Son, to the eternal Spirit honor now and evermore be done; praise and glory in the highest, while the timeless ages run.

Author: J. W. Howe Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #200 (1920) Topics: Holy Days National Days Lyrics: 1 Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord; He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored; He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword; His truth is marching on. Glory! glory! Hallelujah! Glory! glory! Hallelujah! Glory! glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on. 2 I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps; They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps; I have read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps; His day is marching on. Glory! glory! Hallelujah! Glory! glory! Hallelujah! Glory! glory! Hallelujah! His day is marching on. 3 I have read a fiery gospel, writ in burnished rows of steel; "As ye deal with My contemners, so with you My grace shall deal;" Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with His heel, Since God is marching on. Glory! glory! Hallelujah! Glory! glory! Hallelujah! Glory! glory! Hallelujah! Since God is marching on. 4 He has sounded forth His trumpet that shall never call retreat; He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat; O be swift, my soul, to answer Him; be jubilant, my feet! Our God is marching on. Glory! glory! Hallelujah! Glory! glory! Hallelujah! Glory! glory! Hallelujah! Our God is marching on. 5 In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born, across the sea, With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me; As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free! While God is marching on. Glory! glory! Hallelujah! Glory! glory! Hallelujah! Glory! glory! Hallelujah! While God is marching on. Languages: English Tune Title: BATTLE HYMN

God of the nations, Who hast led

Author: F. Edwards Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #203 (1920) Topics: Holy Days National Days Lyrics: 1 God of the nations, Who hast led Thy children since the world began, Through doubt and struggle, pain and tears, unfolding Thy eternal plan; From countless hilltops as of old The fire upon the altar flares; Through countless rites, through countless tongues, Men offer their imperfect prayers; Hasten the time of our release, Bring in the reign of truth and peace. 2 O Jesus Christ, Incarnate Son, Who bore our flesh that men might see The Vision of the Perfect Life Fashioned in their humanity; By all Thy words of heavenly truth, By all Thy deeds of mercy wrought, By all the passion of Thy cross, By the redemption Thou hast brought; Hasten the time of our release, Bring in Thy reign of truth and peace. 3 O Holy Spirit, who dost touch The prophets with Thy sacred fire, Eternal Wisdom to whose light All seekers after truth aspire; Behold the warring sons of men, The helpless by the strong oppressed, The truth with error still concealed, The evil grudgingly confessed; Hasten the time of our release, Bring in Thy reign of truth and peace. 4 O God Triune, Thy Church to-day In penitence before Thee kneels, Mourning her years of slothful ease, Her deafness to the world's appeals; Divided where she should be one, Enamoured of a lesser strife, Tithing the mint and cummin while Men perish for the Bread of Life; Hasten the time of our release, Bring in Thy reign of truth and peace. 5 Restore to us the vision, Lord, Descend with fires of Pentecost; Our tongues unloose, our hearts inflame, To preach the Gospel to the lost; Here at Thy feet our prayer is made, Here life and wealth we dedicate; Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, Lord, Thy anointing we await; Hasten the time of our release, Bring in Thy reign of truth and peace.
