The royal banners forward go

Author: Venantius Fortunatus, 530-609; John Mason Neale, 1818-66 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 134 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 2:9-15 Lyrics: 1 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. 2 There while 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. 3 Fulfilled is now what David told in true prophetic song of old, how God the nations' king should be: for God is reigning from the tree. 4 O tree of glory, tree most fair, ordained those holy limbs to bear, how bright in royal robe it stood - the purple of a Saviour's blood! 5 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. 6 To you, eternal Three in One, let homage due by all be done; as by the cross you now restore, so rule and guide us evermore.

Jesus Christ, the world's Redeemer, from that cross now reigns as King. 2 When at length the appointed fullness of the sacred time was come, he was sent, the world's Creator, from the Father's heavenly home and was found in human fashion offspring of the Virgin's womb. 3 When the thirty years were ended which on earth he willed to see, willingly he meets his passion, born to set his people free; on the cross the Lamb is lifted, there the sacrifice to be. 4 There the nails and spear he suffers, vinegar and gall and reed; from his sacred body pierced blood and water both proceed: precious flood, which all creation from the stain of sin has freed. 5 Faithful cross, above all other, one and only noble tree, none in foliage, none in blossom, none in fruit your peer may be; sweet the wood and sweet the iron, and your load, most sweet is he. 6 Praise and honour to the Father, praise and honour to the Son, praise and honour to the Spirit, ever Three and ever One: One in might and One in glory while eternal ages run.
