In Royal Robes of Splendor

Author: Adam of St. Victor, ?-1182; Jackson Mason Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1. In royal robes of splendor, Before the great King’s feet, The princes of His kingdom, The crowned apostles, meet; To Him their songs adoring With heart and tongue they bring, Pure hearts and mighty voices— E’en as the angels sing. 2. This Order sheds its luster O’er all the human race; A court of righteous judgment, The rock of Gospel grace; Rock of His Church, for ages Elected and foreknown; Whose glorious master builder Is head and cornerstone. 3. These are the Nazareans, Famed heralds to the world, Who, preaching Christ, His banner Of victory unfurled; Day unto day shows knowledge; Night utters speech to night; So these to earth’s four corners Their wondrous tale recite. 4. Christ’s burden light they proffer, His easy yoke proclaim; The seed of life they scatter, That all may own His name. The earth brought forth and budded, Where’er their ploughshare ran, And fruits of increase followed The faith of God made man. 5. These are the sure foundation On which the Temple stands; The living stones compacting That house not made with hands; The gates by which man enters Jerusalem the new; The bond which knits together The Gentile and the Jew. 6. Let error flee before them, Let truth extend her way; Let dread of final judgment To faith and love give way; That, loosed from our offenses, We then may numbered be Among Thy saints in glory Around the throne with Thee.

A Prophet-Woman Broke A Jar

Author: Brian Wren Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A prophet-woman broke a jar, By Love’s divine appointing, With rare perfume she filled the room, Presiding and anointing. A prophet-woman broke a jar, The sneers of scorn defying, With rare perfume she filled the room, Preparing Christ for dying. 2 A faithful woman left a tomb By Love’s divine commission. She saw; she heard; she preached the Word, Arising from submission. A faithful woman left a tomb, With resurrection gospel. She saw; she heard; she preached the Word, Apostle to apostles. 3 Though woman-wisdom, woman-truth, For centuries were hidden, Unsung, unwritten, and unheard, Derided and forbidden, The Spirit’s breath, the Spirit’s fire, On free and slave descending, Can tumble our dividing-walls, Our shame and sadness mending. 4 The Spirit knows; the Spirit calls, By Love’s divine ordaining, The friends we need, to serve and lead, Their power and gifts unchaining. The Spirit knows, the Spirit calls, From women, men, and children, The friends we need, to serve and lead. Rejoice, and make them welcome! Used With Tune: [A prophet-woman broke a jar]

A Dread And Solemn Hour

Author: Anonymous Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 22 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A dread and solemn hour To us is drawing near; When we before the throne of God All present shall appear. 2 What answer shall we give, When God Himself demands The uses of such times as these, In judgment at our hands? 3 And must we then confess That all was spent in vain The seasons that were once our own, But cannot be again? 4 This will be dark indeed; To regions of despair Our own neglect will sink us down, To mourn forever there.
