Lord of Life and King of Glory

Author: Christian Burke Appears in 34 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord of Life and King of Glory, Who didst deign a child to be, Cradled on a mother’s bosom, Throned upon a mother’s knee, For the children Thou hast given We must answer unto Thee. 2 Since the day the blessèd Mother Thee, the world’s Redeemer, bore, Thou hast crowned us with an honor Women never knew before; And that we may bear it meetly We must seek Thine aid the more. 3 Grant us, then, pure hearts and patient, That in all we do or say, Little souls our deeds may copy, And be never led astray; Little feet our steps may follow In a safe and narrow way. 4 When our growing sons and daughters Look on life with eager eyes, Grant us, then, a deeper insight And new powers of sacrifice, Hope to trust them, faith to guide them, Love that nothing good denies. 5 May we keep our holy calling Stainless in its fair renown, That when all the work is over And we lay the burdens down, Then the children Thou hast given Still may be our joy and crown. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life The Family Used With Tune: ORIEL

Sing, My Tongue, the Glorious Battle

Author: Venantius Fortunatus (540?-600?); Percy Dearmer (1867-1936) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 13 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle, sing the ending of the fray; now above the cross, the trophy, sound the loud triumphant lay: tell how Christ, the world's redeemer, as a victim won the day. 2 Tell how, when at length the fullness of the appointed time was come, Christ, the word, was born of woman, left for us his heavenly home; showed us human life made perfect, shone as light amid the gloom. 3 Thus, with thirty years accomplished, went he forth from Nazareth, destined, dedicated, willing, wrought his work and met his death. Like a lamb he humbly yielded on the cross his dying breath. 4 Faithful cross, thou sign of triumph, now for us the noblest tree, none in foliage, none in blossom, none in fruit thy peer may be; symbol of the world's redemption, for the weight that hung on thee! 5 Unto God be praise and glory: to the Father and the Son, to the eternal spirit honour now and evermore be done; praise and glory in the highest, while the timeless ages run.

To the Name That Is Salvation

Author: Percy Dearmer, 1867-1936 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1. To the name that is salvation, Praise and homage let us pay; Life of every generation, Law that all the stars obey; Love and light by whose creation All that is stands fast today. 2. Fairest name beyond all speaking, Fullest end of all desire, Close, yet far beyond all seeking, Goodness, beauty, truth, entire; Wisdom, never vengeance wreaking, Radiance never vexed with ire. 3. ’Tis the name of mercy, speeding, Just and unjust with His ray; Power that rules by patient leading, Not by force, the easier way; So that man, in freedom heeding, May the law of love obey. 4. Name of awe and name of pleasure, Glow divine of grace untold; Sum of values, whose full treasure Striving art can ne’er unfold; Sea of virtue passing measure, Life that doth all life uphold. 5. Hail, O Father, all creating, Now, as when the world began; Master mind, amazed we hail Thee, As the light-year depths we scan; Spirit of transcendent union, True and just Thy ways to man!
