Alleluia! Sing to Jesus

Alleluia! Sing to Jesus
Once to Every Man and Nation
Author: James Russell Lowell Hymnal: The Hymnal of The Evangelical United Brethren Church #376 (1957) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Scripture: John 18:37-38 Lyrics: 1 Once to every man and nation
Comes the moment to decide,
In the strife of truth with falsehood,
For the good or evil side;
Some great cause, some new decision,
Offering each the bloom or blight,
And the choice goes by forever
Twixt that darkness and that light.
2 By the light of burning martyrs,
Jesus' bleeding feet I track,
Toiling up new Calvaries ever
With the cross that turns not back;
New occasions teach new duties,
Time makes ancient good uncouth;
They must upward still and onward,
Who would keep abreast of truth.
3 Tho' the cause of evil prosper,
Yet 'tis truth alone is strong;
Tho' her portion be the scaffold,
And upon the throne be wrong,
Yet that scaffold sways the future,
And, behind the dim unknown,
Standeth God within the shadow
Keeping watch above His own.
Amen. Tune Title: TON-Y-BOTEL

Praise to the Holiest in the Height
Author: John Henry Newman (1801-1890) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #372 (1998) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: John 18, 19 Lyrics: 1 Praise to the Holiest in the height,
and in the depth be praise;
in all his words most wonderful,
most sure in all his ways.
2 O loving wisdom of our God!
When all was sin and shame,
a second Adam to the fight
and to the rescue came.
3 O generous love! that flesh and blood,
which did in Adam fail,
should strive afresh against the foe,
should strive and should prevail:
4 and that the highest gift of grace
should flesh and blood refine;
God's presence and his very self,
and essence all-divine;
5 who in the garden secretly,
and on the cross on high,
should teach his followers, and inspire
to suffer and to die.
6 Praise to the Holiest in the height,
and in the depth be praise;
in all his words most wonderful,
most sure in all his ways. Topics: Holy Week (Good Friday); Praise of God; Sunday of the Passion Languages: English Tune Title: GERONTIUS
Praise to the Holiest in the Height
O Love, how deep, how broad, how high!
Author: Benjamin Webb (1819-1885) Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #354 (2005) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: John 18, 19:1-37 Lyrics: 1 O Love, how deep, how broad, how high!
Surpassing thought and fantasy
that God, the Son of God, should take
our mortal form for mortals' sake.
2 For us baptized, for us he bore
his holy fast, and hungered sore;
for us temptations sharp he knew;
for us the tempter overthrew.
3 For us he prayed, for us he taught,
for us the lost with love he sought,
by words, and signs, and actions, he
brought health and hope to set us free.
4 For us to wicked men betrayed,
scourged, mocked, in crown of thorns arrayed,
he bore the shameful cross and death;
for us at length gave up his breath.
5 For us he rose from death again,
for us he went on high to reign,
for us he sent his Spirit here
to guide, to strengthen, and to cheer.
6 To him whose boundless love has won
salvation for us through his Son,
to God the Father, glory be
both now and through eternity. Topics: Christian Year Lent; Creed Languages: English Tune Title: EISENACH (LEIPZIG)

The Royal Banners Forward Go
Author: Venantius Fortunatus (540?-600?); John Mason Neale (1818-1866); Percy Dearmer (1867-1936) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #186 (1998) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: John 18:33-37 Lyrics: 1 The royal banners forward go;
the cross shines forth in mystic glow;
where he, the Life, did flesh endure,
and by that death did life procure.
2 There while he hung, his sacred side
by soldier's spear was opened wide
to cleanse us in the precious flood
of water mingled with his blood.
3 Fulfilled is all his words foretold;
then spread the banners, and unfold
love's crowning power, that all may see
he reigns and triumphs from the tree.
4 O tree of grace, the conquering sign,
which dost in royal purple shine,
gone is thy shame; for, lo, each bough
proclaims the prince of glory now.
5 For once thy favoured branches bore
the wealth that did the world restore,
the priceless treasure, freely spent
to pay for our enfranchisement.
6 Father of all, life's source and spring,
may every soul thy praises sing;
may those obey the rule of heaven,
for whom the perfect life was given. Topics: Holy Week (Good Friday) Languages: English Tune Title: VEXILLA REGIS

My Song Is Love Unknown
Author: Samuel Crossman (1624?-1683) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #184 (1998) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Scripture: John 18, 19 Lyrics: 1 My song is love unknown,
my Savior’s love to me,
love to the loveless shown
that they might lovely be.
O who am I,
that for my sake
my Lord should take
frail flesh, and die?
2 He came from his blest throne
salvation to bestow,
but all made strange, and none
the longed-for Christ would know;
but O my friend,
my friend indeed,
who at my need
his life did spend.
3 Sometimes they strew his way,
and his sweet praises sing,
resounding all the day
hosannas to their King.
Then “Crucify!”
is all their breath,
and for his death
they thirst and cry.
4 Why, what has my Lord done?
What makes this rage and spite?
He made the lame to run,
he gave the blind their sight.
Sweet injuries!
Yet they at these
themselves displease,
and 'gainst him rise.
5 They rise, and needs will have
my dear Lord made away;
a murderer they save,
the Prince of Life they slay.
Yet cheerful he
to suffering goes,
that he his foes
from thence might free.
6 Here might I stay and sing,
no story so divine;
never was love, dear King,
never was grief like thine!
This is my friend,
in whose sweet praise
I all my days
could gladly spend. Topics: Holy Week (Good Friday) Languages: English Tune Title: LOVE UNKNOWN
