Before Your Cross, O Jesus

Author: Ferdinand Q. Blanchard Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 13 hymnals Topics: Year B Lent 5; Year C Lent 5 Lyrics: 1 Before your cross, O Jesus, our lives are judged today; the meaning of our eager strife is tested by your way. Across our restless living the light streams from your cross, and by its clear, revealing beams we measure gain and loss. 2 The hopes that lead us onward, the fears that hold us back, our will to dare great things for God, the courage that we lack, The faith we keep in goodness, our love, as low or pure, on all, the judgment of the cross falls steady, clear, and sure. 3 Yet humbly, in our striving, we rise to face its test. We crave the power to do your will as once you did it best. On us let now the healing of your great Spirit fall, and make us brave and full of joy to answer to your call. Scripture: Mark 8:34 Used With Tune: ST. CHRISTOPHER

The Royal Banners Forward Go

Author: V. H. Fortunatus, 503-609; Unknown Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 137 hymnals Topics: Lent 5 Lyrics: 1 The royal banners forward go; The cross shines forth in mystic glow Where He in flesh, our flesh who made, Our sentence bore, our ransom paid; 2 Where deep for us the spear was dyed, Life's torrent rushing from His side, To wash us in that precious flood Where mingled water flowed and blood. 3 Fulfilled is all that David told In true prophetic song of old; Amidst the nations, God, saith he, Hath reigned and triumphed from the Tree. 4 O Tree of beauty, Tree of life, O Tree with fruit of comforrt rife; Elect, on whose triumphal breast Those holy limbs should find their rest; 5 On whose dear arms, so widely flung, The weight of this world's ransom hung The price of humankind to pay And spoil the spoiler of his prey. 6 O Cross, our one reliance, hail! So may thy pow'r with us avail To give new virtue to the saint And pardon to the penitent. 7 To Thee, eternal Three in One, Let homage meet by all be done, Whom by the cross Thou dost restore, Preserve, and govern evermore.
