Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle
Author: Venantius Fortunatus, c. 530-609; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 62 hymnals Topics: Joy, Praise and Thanksgiving Lyrics: 1 Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle,
sing the last the dream affray;
o'er the Cross, the victor's trophy,
sound the high triumphal lay;
how, the pains of death enduring,
earth's Redeemer won the day.
2 When at length th'appointed fullness
of the sacred time was come,
he was sent, the world's creator,
from the Father's heav'nly home,
and was found in human fashion,
offspring of the Virgin's womb.
3 Now the thirty years are ended
which on earth he willed to see,
willingly he meets his Passion,
born to set his people free;
on the cross the Lamb is lifted,
there the sacrifice to be.
4 There the nails and spear he suffers,
vinegar and gall and reed;
from his sacred body piercèd
blood and water both proceed:
precious flood, which all creation
from the stain of sin hath freed.
5 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!
6 Bend, O lofty tree, thy branches,
thy too rigid sinews bend;
and awhile the stubborn hardness,
which thy birth bestowed, suspend;
and the limbs of heav'n's high monarch
gently on thine arms extend.
7 Thou alone wast counted worthy
this world's ransom to sustain,
that by thee a wrecked creation
might its ark and haven gain,
with the sacred blood anointed
of the Lamb that hath been slain.
8 Praise and honour to the Father,
praise and honour to the Son,
praise and honour to the Spirit,
ever Three and ever One,
One in sight and One in glory
while eternal ages run. Scripture: John 19:34 Used With Tune: ST THOMAS (WEBBE)
Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle
God Is in His Holy Temple
Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: Worship Adoration and Praise Lyrics: 1 God is in His holy temple:
Earthly thoughts, be silent now,
While in reverence we assemble,
And before His Presence bow.
2 He is with us now and ever,
When we call upon His name
Aiding every good endeavor
Guiding every upward aim.
3 God is in His holy temple;
In the pure and holy mind,
In the reverent heart and simple,
In the soul from sense refined.
4 Then let every low emotion
Banished far and silent be,
And our souls in pure devotion,
Lord, be temples worthy Thee!

O LORD, I Will Extol You
Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Praise First Line: O LORD, I will extol you, for you have lifted me Lyrics: 1 O LORD, I will extol you,
for you have lifted me;
my foes you kept from boasting
and gloating over me.
O LORD, my God, I pleaded
that you might heal and save;
you brought my soul from Sheol,
restored me from the grave.
2 His holy name remember;
you saints, the LORD now praise;
his anger lasts a moment,
his favor all our days;
for though the tears of weeping
may tarry for a night,
there comes a shout of gladness
when dawns the morming light.
3 In prosp'rous days I boasted,
"Unmoved I shall remain,"
for LORD, by your good favor
my mountain you maintained.
But when your face was hidden,
my heart was terrified.
To you, O LORD, I pleaded;
for mercy, Lord, I cried.
4 What profit if I perish,
if I descend to death?
Shall dust proclaim your praises
or speak your faithfulness?
O LORD, on me have mercy,
and my petition hear;
that you may be my helper,
in mercy, LORD, appear.
5 You turned my grief to dancing,
from sackcloth set me free.
You clothed me 'round with gladness;
I shall not silent be.
My soul will sing your praises,
your name will I adore;
O LORD, my God, I thank you,
both now and evermore!

Practical Atheism exposed; or, the Being and Attributes of God asserted
Appears in 25 hymnals Topics: Praise for providence and grace; Praise for providence and grace First Line: While men grow bold in wicked ways Lyrics: 1 While men grow bold in wicked ways,
And yet a God they own,
My heart within me often says,
"Their thoughts believe there's none.
2 Their thoughts and ways at once declare,
(What e'er their lips profess)
God hath no wrath for them to fear,
Nor will they seek his grace.
3 What strange self-flattery blinds their eyes!
But there's a hastening hour,
When they shall see with sore surprise
The terrors of thy power.
4 Thy justice shall maintain its throne,
Though mountains melt away;
Thy judgements are a world unknown,
A deep, unfathom'd sea.
5 Above the heavens' created rounds,
Thy mercies, Lord, extend;
Thy truth out-lives the narrow bounds,
Where time and nature end.
6 Safety to man thy goodness brings,
Nor overlooks the beast;
Beneath the shadow of thy wings
Thy children chuse to rest.
7 [From thee, when creature-streams run low.
And mortal comforts die,
Perpetual springs of life shall flow,
And raise our pleasures high.
8 Though all created light decay,
And death close up our eyes,
Thy presence makes eternal day
Where clouds can never rise. Scripture: Psalm 36:1-2
Practical Atheism exposed; or, the Being and Attributes of God asserted
