Now, my tongue, the mystery telling

Author: St Thomas Aquinas, 1227-1274; Edward Caswall; J. M. Neale Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 51 hymnals Lyrics: PART ONE - 1 Now, my tongue, the mystery telling of the glorious body sing, and the blood, all price excelling, which the Gentiles' Lord and King, in a Virgin's womb once dwelling, shed for this world's ransoming. 2 Given for us, and condescending to be born for us below, he, with us in converse blending, dwelt the seed of truth to sow, till he closed with wondrous ending his most patient life of woe. 3 That last night, at supper lying, 'mid the Twelve, his chosen band, Jesus, with the law complying, keeps the feast its rites demand; then, more precious food supplying, gives himself with his own hand. 4 Word-made-flesh, true bread he maketh by his word his flesh to be, wine his blood; which whoso taketh must from carnal thoughts be free: faith alone, though sight forsaketh, shows true hearts the mystery. PART TWO - 5 Therefore we, before him bending, this great sacrament revere: types and shadows have their ending, for the newer rite is here; faith, our outward sense befriending, makes our inward vision clear. 6 Glory let us give and blessing to the Father and the Son, honour, might, and praise addressing, while eternal ages run; ever too his love confessing, who, from both, with both is One.

When Our Confidence Is Shaken

Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When our confidence is shaken in beliefs we thought secure, when the spirit in its sickness seeks but cannot find a cure, God is active in the tensions of a faith not yet mature. 2 Solar systems, void of meaning, freeze the spirit into stone; always our researches lead us to the ultimate unknown. Faith must die, or come full circle to its source in God alone. 3 In the discipline of praying, when it's hardest to believe; in the drudgery of caring, when it's not enough to grieve; faith, maturing, learns acceptance of the insights we receive. 4 God is love, and thus redeems us in the Christ we crucify; this is God's eternal answer to the world's eternal why. May we in this faith maturing be content to live and die! Topics: Sanctifiying and Perfecting Grace Prayer, Trust, Hope; Faith; Redemption Used With Tune: GRAFTON
