Thou art the Christ, O Lord
Author: W. Walsham How, 1823-97 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #172 (1986) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Hymnal Title: The New English Hymnal Lyrics: 1 'Thou art the Christ, O Lord,
The Son of God, most high!'
For ever be adored
That name in earth and sky,
In which, though mortal strength may fail,
The saints of God at last prevail.
2 O surely he was blest
With blessedness unpriced,
Who, taught of God, confessed
The Godhead in the Christ;
For of thy Church, Lord, thou didst own
Thy saint a true foundation-stone.
3 Thrice fallen, thrice restored,
The bitter lesson learnt,
That heart for thee, O Lord,
With triple ardor burnt.
The cross he took he laid not down
Until he grasped the martyr's crown.
4 O bright triumphant faith,
O courage void of fears,
O love most strong in death,
O penitential tears!
By these, Lord, keep us lest we fall,
And make us go where thou shalt call. Topics: St. Peter; The Christian Year Festivals and Other Holy Days: Proper Languages: English Tune Title: CROFT'S 136TH
Thou art the Christ, O Lord
