Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle

Author: Percy Dearmer (1867-1936); Venantius Honorius Clementianus Fortunatus (c. 535--609) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 13 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 2:13-15 Lyrics: 1 Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle, sing the ending of the fray, o'er the cross, the victor's trophy, sound the loud triumphant lay: tell how Christ, the world's Redeemer, as a victim won the day. 2 God in pity saw man fallen, shamed and sunk in misery, when he fell on death by tasting fruit of the forbidden tree: then another tree was chosen which the world from death should free. 3 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 maiden's womb. 4 Thirty years among us dwelling, now at length his hour 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. 5 To the Trinity be glory, to the Father and the Son, with the co-eternal Spirit, ever Three and ever One, one in love and one in splendour, while unending ages run. Amen. Topics: Atonement; Church year Passiontide; Church Year Good Friday; Jesus Life and Ministry; Jesus Names and images for; Passiontide; Victory Used With Tune: PANGE LINGUA

As you lived to heal the broken, greet the outcast, free the bound, as you taught us love unspoken, teach us now where you are found. 2 Once again we tell the story-- how your love for us was shown, when the image of your glory wore an image like our own. Come, enlighten with your wisdom, come and fill us with your grace. May the fire of your compassion kindle every land and race. 3 Holy Child within the manger, lead us ever in your way, so we see in every stranger how you come to us today. In our lives and in our living give us strength to live as you, that our hearts might be forgiving and our spirits strong and true. Used With Tune: JOYOUS LIGHT
