The royal banners forward go

Author: Venantius Fortunatus, 530-609; John Mason Neale Appears in 134 hymnals Matching Instances: 23 Lyrics: 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. There whilst he hung, his sacred side By soldier's spear was opened wide, To cleanse us in the precious flood Of water mingled with his blood. Fulfilled is now what David told In true prophetic song of old, How God the heathen's King should be; For God is reigning from the tree. O tree of glory, tree most fair, Ordained those holy limbs to bear, How bright in purple robe it stood, The purple of a Savior's blood! Upon its arms, like balance true, He weighed the price for sinners due, The price which none but he could pay, And spoiled the spoiler of his prey. To thee, eternal Three in One, Let homage meet by all be done: As by the cross thou dost restore, So rule and guide us evermore. Amen. Topics: Holy Week; Processional Used With Tune: VEXILLA REGIS

As royal banners are unfurled

Author: Alan Gaunt (b. 1935); Venantius Fortunatus (530-609) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 As royal banners are unfurled, the cross displays its mystery: the Maker of our flesh, in flesh, impaled and hanging helplessly. 2 Already deeply wounded: see his side now riven by a spear, and all our sins are swept away by blood and water flowing here. 3 See everything the prophets wrote fulfilled in its totality, and tell the nations of the world our God is reigning from the tree. 4 This tree, ablaze with royal light and with the blood-red robe it wears, is hallowed and embellished by the weight of holiness it bears. 5 Stretched like a balance here, his arms have gauged the price of wickedness; but, hanging here, his love outweighs hell's unforgiving bitterness. 6 The Saviour, victim, sacrifice, is, through his dying, glorified; his life is overcome by death and leaps up, sweeping death aside. 7 We hail the cross, faith's one true hope: God's passion set in time and space, by which our guilt is blotted out, engulfed in such stupendous grace. Amen.
