To Mock Your Reign

Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 16 hymnals First Line: To mock your reign, O dearest Lord Lyrics: 1 To mock your reign, O dearest Lord, they made a crown of thorns; set you with taunts along that road from which no one returns. They could not know, as we do now, how glorious is that crown; that thorns would flower upon your brow, your sorrows heal our own. 2 In mock acclaim, O gracious Lord, they snatched a purple cloak; your passion turned, for all they cared, into a soldier's joke. They could not know, as we do now, that though we merit blame, you will your robe of mercy throw around our naked shame. 3 A sceptered reed, O patient Lord, they thrust into your hand, and acted out their grim charade to its appointed end. They could not know, as we do now, though empires rise and fall, your kingdom shall not cease to grow till love embraces all. Scripture: Matthew 27:27-41 Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD

Let not the foe of Christ and man This holy seed remove, But give it root in ev'ry heart To bring forth fruits of love. 2 Let not the world's deceitful cares The rising plant destroy, But let it yield a hundredfold The fruits of peace and joy. Oft as the precious seed is sown, Thy quick'ning grace bestow That all whose souls the truth receive Its saving pow'r may know. Topics: Sexagesima Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD

No Tramp of Soldiers' Marching Feet

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: No tramp of solders' marching feet Lyrics: 1 No tramp of soldiers’ marching feet With banners and with drums, No sound of music’s martial beat: “The King of glory comes!” To greet what pomp of kingly pride No bells in triumph ring, No city gates swing open wide: “Behold, behold your King!” 2 And yet he comes. The children cheer; With palms his path is strown. With ev’ry step the cross draws near: The King of glory’s throne. Astride a colt he passes by As loud hosannas ring, Or else the very stones would cry: “Behold, behold your King!” 3 What fading flow’rs his road adorn; The palms, how soon laid down! No bloom or leaf but only thorn The King of glory’s crown. The soldiers mock, the rabble cries, The streets with tumult ring, As Pilate to the mob replies: “Behold, behold your King!” 4 Now he, who bore for mortals’ sake The cross and all its pains And chose a servant’s form to take, The King of glory reigns. Hosanna to the Savior’s Name Till heaven’s rafters ring, And all the ransomed host proclaim: “Behold, behold your King!” Topics: Palm Sunday Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD

A Prayer In Time Of War

Author: Alfred Noyes Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Thou whose deep ways are in the sea Lyrics: 1 Thou whose deep ways are in the sea, Whose footsteps are not known, Tonight a world that turned from Thee Is waiting—at Thy throne. The towering Babels that we raised Where scoffing sophists brawl, The little Antichrists we praised— The night is on them all. 2 The fool hath said…the fool hath said… And we, who deemed him wise, We, who believed that Thou wast dead, How should we seek Thine eyes? How should we seek to Thee for power, Who scorned Thee yesterday? How should we kneel in this dread hour? Lord, teach us how to pray. 3 Grant us the single heart once more That mocks no sacred thing, The sword of truth our fathers wore When Thou wast Lord and King. Let darkness unto darkness tell Our deep unspoken prayer; For, while our souls in darkness dwell We know that Thou art there.
