Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sing, my tongue, the ageless story As the cross is lifted high! Tell how Christ our Savior conquered, When for us he came to die As a victim in the battle, Death's dominion to belie. 2 Adam tasted sin and sorrow, Eating of the fearful tree; All undoing our enchainment, By the tree Christ sets us free, Crushing hell's own tool of bondage By his great humility. 3 Silence cloaked the earth and heavens Round the hill of Calvary; Nailed upon the tree of glory, Christ endured his agony. In his royal blood descending Comes our peace, our liberty. 4 Cross triumphant! Cross transforming! Ensign of humanity! Faithful cross, above all others, One and only noble tree: Gracious wood and gracious iron, Gracious burden borne on thee!

Of the Glorious Body Telling

Author: Thomas Aquinas, 1227-1274 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 11 hymnals First Line: Of the glorius body telling Lyrics: 1 Of the glorious body telling, O my tongue, its myst'ries sing, And the blood, all price excelling, Which the world’s eternal King, In a noble womb once dwelling, Shed for this world’s ransoming. 2 Giv'n for us, for us descending, Of a virgin to proceed, With us all in converse blending, Scattered he the Gospel seed, Till his sojourn drew to ending Which he closed in wondrous deed. 3 At the last great supper lying Circled by his chosen band, Meekly with the law complying, First he finished its command; Then, immortal food supplying, Gave himself with his own hand. 4 Word made flesh, by word ordaining Very bread his flesh to be; We, in wine Christ’s blood obtaining, And, if senses fail to see, Faith alone will wake those straining To behold the mystery. Amen 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 the inward vision clear. 6 Glory let us give, and blessing To the Father and the Son; Honor, might, and praise addressing, While eternal ages run; Ever, too, the Spirit blessing, Who, from both, with both is one.
