The Eternal Gifts of Christ the King
Author: Ambrose of Milan (340-397); John Mason Neale (1818-1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 48 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The eternal gifts of Christ the King,
the apostles' glory, let us sing;
and all, with hearts of gladness,
due hymns of thankful love and praise.
2 Theirs is the steadfast faith of saints,
and hope that never yields nor faints,
and love of Christ in perfect glow
that lays the prince of this world low.
3 In them the Father's glory shone;
in them the will of God the Son;
in them exults the Holy Ghost;
through them rejoice the heavenly host.
4 To thee, Redeemer, now we cry,
that thou wouldst join to them on high
thy servants, who this grace implore,
forever and forevermore. Topics: Communion of Saints Scripture: Wisdom of Solomon 3:1-9 Used With Tune: AETERNA CHRISTI MUNERA
The Eternal Gifts of Christ the King
Rejoice! The Year upon Its Way
Author: Hilary of Poitiers; Richard E. Roberts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Rejoice! the year upon its way
Has brought again that blessèd day,
When on the chosen of the Lord
The Holy Spirit was outpoured.
2. On each the fire, descending, stood
In quivering tongues’ similitude—
Tongues, that their words might ready prove,
And fire, to make them flame with love.
3. To all in every tongue they spoke;
Amazement in the crowd awoke,
Who mocked, as overcome with wine,
Those who were filled with power divine.
4. These things were done in type that day,
When Eastertide had passed away,
The number told which once set free
The captive at the jubilee.
5. And now, O holy God, this day
Regard us as we humbly pray,
And send us, from Thy heavenly seat,
The blessings of the Paraclete.
6. To God the Father, God, the Son,
And God the Spirit, praise be done;
May Christ the Lord upon us pour
The Spirit’s gift forevermore. Used With Tune: AETERNA CHRISTI MUNERA Text Sources: Translation in The English Hymnal (London: Oxford University Press, 1906), number 151
