Now, my tongue, the mystery telling

Author: Edward Caswall (1814-1878) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 51 hymnals Matching Instances: 12 Lyrics: 1 Now, my tongue, the mystery telling of the glorious body sing, and the blood, all price excelling, which the world's great Lord and King, in a virgin's womb once dwelling, shed for this world's ransoming. 2 That last night, at supper lying, with 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. 3 Word-made-flesh! his word is making earthly bread his flesh to be, wine his blood; and all partaking should from sinful thoughts be free. Faith alone, sight's limits breaking, show true hearts the mystery. 4 Therefore we, before him bending, this great sacrament revere; older rituals have their ending, for the newer rite is here; faith, our outward sense befriending, makes our inner vision clear. 5 Unto God be praise and honour: to the Father, to the Son, to the mighty Spirit, glory, ever Three and ever One: power and glory in the highest while eternal ages run.

Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle

Author: Venantius Honorius Fortunatus, 540?-600?; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 59 hymnals Matching Instances: 6 Lyrics: 1. Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle; of the mighty conflict sing; tell the triumph of the victim, to his cross thy tribute bring. Jesus Christ, the world's Redeemer from that cross now reigns as King. 2. Thirty years among us dwelling, his appointed time fulfilled, born for this, he meets his passion, this the Savior freely willed: on the cross the Lamb is lifted, where his precious blood is spilled. 3. He endures the nails, the spitting, vinegar, and spear, and reed; from that holy body broken blood and water forth proceed: earth, and stars, and sky, and ocean, by that flood from stain are freed. 4. Faithful cross! above all other, one and only noble tree! None in foliage, none in blossom, none in fruit thy peer may be: sweetest wood and sweetest iron! sweetest weight is hung on thee. 5. Bend thy boughs, O tree of glory! Thy relaxing sinews bend; for awhile the ancient rigor that thy birth bestowed, suspend; and the King of heavenly beauty gently on thine arms extend. 6. Praise and honor to the Father, praise and honor to the Son, praise and honor to the Spirit, ever Three and ever One: one in might and one in glory while eternal ages run.

Tell of dread and final battle, when the Christ was crucified, how, upon the cross a victim vanquishing in death he died. 2 Thirty years among us dwelling, his appointed time fulfilled, born for this, he met his Passion, this the Savior freely willed. On the cross the Lamb is lifted, where his precious blood he spilled. 3 He endured the nails, the spitting, vinegar and spear and reed. From that holy body broken blood and water both proceed. Earth and stars and sky and ocean by that flood from stain are freed. 4 Faithful cross, O sign of triumph, now for us the noblest tree, none in foliage, none in blossom, none in fruit can equal be; sweetest wood and sweetest iron, sweetest weight is hung on thee. 5 Thus the plan of our salvation was of old in order laid that the manifold deceiver’s art by art might be outweighed, and the lure the foe put forward into means of healing made. 6 Let our songs of strength and honor now and evermore be done: to the God who spoke creation, God the true begotten Son, God the Spirit, ever moving, One in Three and Three in One.
