1 The royal standard forward goes, The holy Cross with mystery glows, Where death by life was put to shame, And life from death triumphant came. 2 Here from my Saviour's piercèd side Flows forth the purifying tide, That lets no sinful spot remain, As blood and water cleanse each stain. 3 Fulfilled is now the hope foretold, That faithful prophets sang of old; When God His wondering people see, Ruling all nations from the Tree. 4 Hail! only source of hope and life; In this sad time of pain and strife, To faithful souls Thy grace increase, And to the guilty give Thy peace. 5 And now, O Blessèd Trinity, Let endless praises be to Thee, Who through the triumph of Thy love, Hast gained for us a crown above. Amen. | Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church #91 (1917) |
