There's a Song in the Air
Once to Every Man and Nation
Author: James Russell Lowell Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 203 hymnals 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. Used With Tune: TON-Y-BOTEL

Ah, Holy Jesus
Author: Robert Bridges; Johann Heermann Meter: 11.11.11.5 Appears in 141 hymnals Scripture: John 18:15-17 First Line: Ah, holy Jesus, how have you offended Lyrics: 1 Ah, holy Jesus,
how have you offended,
that mortal judgment
has on you descended?
By foes derided,
by your own rejected,
O most afflicted!
2 Who was the guilty?
Who brought this upon you?
It is my treason,
Lord, that has slain you.
And I, dear Jesus,
I it was denied you;
I crucified you.
3 For me, kind Jesus,
was your incarnation,
your mortal sorrow,
and your life's oblation,
Your death of anguish
and your bitter passion,
for my salvation.
4 Therefore, kind Jesus,
since I cannot pay you,
I do adore you
and will ever pray you,
Think on your pity
and your love unswerving,
not my deserving.

The Royal Banners Forward Go
Author: Venantius Fortunatus (540?-600?); John Mason Neale (1818-1866); Percy Dearmer (1867-1936) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 136 hymnals 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) Used With Tune: VEXILLA REGIS

O Sacred Head, Surrounded
Author: Henry Williams Baker (1821-1877); Arnulf of Louvain (1200?-1250?); Paul Gerhardt (1607-1676); James Waddell Alexander (1804-1853) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 93 hymnals Scripture: John 18, 19 Lyrics: 1 O sacred head surrounded
by crown of piercing thorn;
O royal head so wounded,
reviled, and put to scorn:
death's shadows rise before you,
the glow of life decays,
yet angel hosts adore you
and tremble as they gaze!
2 Your youthfulness and vigour
are spent, your strength is gone,
and in your tortured figure
I see death drawing on:
what agony of dying,
what love, to sinners free!
My Lord, all grace supplying,
O turn your face on me!
3 Your sinless soul's oppression
was all for sinners' gain;
mine, mine was the transgression,
but yours the deadly pain:
I bow my head, my Saviour,
for I deserve your place;
O grant to me your favour,
and heal me by your grace.
4 What language shall I borrow
to thank you, dearest Friend,
for this your dying sorrow,
your mercy without end?
Lord, make me yours for ever:
your servant let me be;
and may I never, never
betray your love for me. Topics: Holy Week (Good Friday) Used With Tune: PASSION CHORALE Text Sources: rev. Hymns for Today's Church, 1982
