See! through his holy hands and feet

Author: V. Fortunatus Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 See! through his holy hands and feet The cruel nails they drive: Our ransom thus is made complete, Our souls are saved alive. 2 And see! the spear has pierced his side, And shed that sacred flood That holy, reconciling tide The water and the blood. 3 O holy cross! from thee we learn The only way to heaven; And O, to thee may sinners turn, And look, and be forgiven!

The Celestial Army

Author: Asa Hull Appears in 16 hymnals First Line: Whence came the armies of the sky Refrain First Line: They looked like men in uniform Lyrics: 1 Whence came the armies of the sky, John saw in visions bright? Whence came their crowns, their robes, their palms, Too pure for mortal sight? Chorus: They looked like men in uniform, They looked like men of war; They all were clad in armor bright, And conq’ring palms they bore. 2 Were these tried soldiers of the cross Victorious in the fight? Were these the trophies they had won, Reserved in worlds of light? [Chorus] 3 Once they were mourners here below, And poured out cries and tears, They wrestled hard, as we do now, With sins and doubts and fears. [Chorus] 4 They saw the star of Bethlehem Arise in splendor bright; They followed long its guiding ray, Till beamed a clearer light. [Chorus] 5 From desert waste and cities full, From dungeons dark they’ve come, And now they claim their mansions fair; They’ve found their long-sought home. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Whence came the armies of the sky] Text Sources: From "Palm Leaves"
