Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle

Author: Venantius Fortunatus, 530-609; John Mason Neale, 1818-66 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 59 hymnals Scripture: John 12:32-33 Lyrics: 1 Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle; of the mighty conflict sing: tell the triumph of the victim, to his cross your tribute bring. 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.
