Sing, My Tongue, How Glorious Battle

Author: Venantius Fortunatus Hymnal: RITL1985 #289 (1985) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Scripture: Genesis 3:6 Lyrics: Part I 1 Sing, my tongue, how glorious battle glorious victory became; and above the cross, his trophy, tell the triumph and the fame, tell how he, the world's Redeemer, by his death for us o'ercame. 2 God in pity saw us fallen, shamed and sunk in misery, when we fell on death by tasting fruit of the forbidden tree: then another tree was chosen which the world from death should free. 3 Thus the scheme 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. 4 Therefore, when the appointed fullness of the holy time was come, he was sent, who maketh all things, forth from God's eternal home; thus he came to earth incarnate, offspring of a virgin's womb. Part II 5 Thirty years among us dwelling, his appointed time fulfilled, born for this, he meets his Passion, for that this he freely willed: on the cross the Lamb is lifted, where his life-blood shall be spilled. 6 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. 7 Thou alone wast counted worthy this world's ransom to uphold; for a shipwrecked race preparing harbor, like the ark of old; with the sacred blood anointed from the smitten Lamb that rolled. 8 To the Trinity be glory everlasting, as is meet; equal to the Father, equal to the Son and Paraclete: Trinal Unity, whose praises all created things repeat.

Wheresoe'er ye be, ye faithful, let your joyous anthems ring, ev'ry tongue his name confessing, countless voices answering, evermore and evermore! Languages: English Tune Title: DIVINUM MYSTERIUM

See, the Conqueror Mounts in Triumph

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Hymnal: RITL1985 #334 (1985) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Scripture: Genesis 5:24 Lyrics: 1 See, the Conqu'ror mounts in triumph, see the King in royal state riding on the clouds, his chariot to his heav'nly palace gate; Hark! the choirs of angel voices joyful Alleluias sing and the portals high are lifted to receive their heav'nly King. 2 Who is he that comes in glory with the trump of jubilee? Lord of battles, God of armies, he has gained the victory. He who on the cross did suffer, he who from the grave arose, he has vanquished sin and Satan, he by death has spoiled his foes. 3 While he lifts his hands in blessing he is parted from his friends; while their eager eyes behold him, he upon the clouds ascends; he who walked with God and pleased him, preaching truth and doom to come, he, our Enoch, is translated to his everlasting home. 4 Now our heav'nly Aaron enters with his blood within the veil; Joshua now is come to Canaan, and the kings before him quail. Now he plants the tribes of Israel in their promised resting place, now our great Elijah offers double portion of his grace. 5 He has raised our human nature on the clouds to God's right hand; there we sit in heav'nly places, there with thee in glory stand; Jesus reigns, adored by angels, mighty Lord, in thine Ascension we by faith behold our own.
