The royal banners forward go

Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 134 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 72:8-11 Lyrics: 1 The royal banners forward go, the cross shines forth in mystic glow; where he in flesh, or flesh who made, our sentence bore, our ransom paid. 2 There whilst 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 now what David told in true prophetic song of old, how God the nations' King should be; for God is reigning on the tree. 4 O tree of glory, tree most fair, ordained those holy limbs to bear, how bright in purple robe it stood, the purple of a Saviour's blood! 5 Upon its arms, like balance true, he weighed the price for sinners due, the price which none but he could pay, and spoiled the spoiler of his prey. 6 To thee, eternal Three in One, let homage meet by all be done: as by the cross thou dost restore, so rule and guide us evermore.

Divine influences compared to rain

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 47 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 72:6 First Line: As showers on meadows newly mown Lyrics: 1 As showers on meadows newly mown, Jesus shall shed his blessings down, Crown'd with whose life-infusing drops, Earth shall renew her blissful crops. 2 Lands that beneath a burning sky, Have long been desolate and dry, Th' effusions of his love shall share, And sudden greens and herbage wear. 3 The dews and rains, in all their store, Drenching the pastures o'er and o'er, Are not so copious as that grace, Which sanctifies and saves our race. 4 As in soft silence vernal showers Descend, and cheer the fainting flowers, So in the secrecy of love Falls the sweet influence from above. 5 That heavenly influence let me find In holy silence of the mind, While every grace maintains it bloom, Diffusing wide its rich perfume. 6 Nor let these blessings be confin'd To me, but pour'd on all mankind, 'Till earth's wild wastes in verdure rise, And a young Eden bless our eyes.
