Christ Is Made the Sure Foundation
Author: John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Appears in 289 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 1:13-19 Lyrics: 1 Christ is made the sure foundation,
Christ, the head and corner stone;
Chosen of the Lord, and precious,
Binding all the Church in one,
Holy Sion's help for ever,
And her confidence alone.
2 To this temple, where we call you,
Come, O Lord of hosts, today;
With your wonted loving kindness,
Hear your servants as we pray,
And your fullest benediction
Shed in all its brightest ray.
3 Grant, we pray, to all your people
All the grace they ask to gain;
What they gain from you for ever
With the blessed to retain,
And hereafter in your glory,
Evermore with you to reign.
4 Praise and honor to the Father,
Praise and honor to the Son,
Praise and honor to the Spirit,
Ever three and ever one,
One in might, and one in glory,
While unending ages run. Topics: Dedication of a Church; Jesus; Praise; Unity Used With Tune: WESTMINSTER ABBEY Text Sources: 7th century

ere the worlds began to be,
he is Alpha and Omega;
he the source, the ending he,
of the things that are, that have been,
and that future years shall see,
evermore and evermore.
2 By his word they were created;
he commanded; it was done:
heav'en and earth and depths of ocean,
in their threefold order one;
all that grows beneath the shining
of the light of moon and sun,
evermore and evermore.
3 O that birth for ever blessèd
when the Virgin, full of grace,
by the Holy Ghost conceiving,
bore the Saviour of our race,
and the babe, the world’s Redeemer,
first revealed his sacred face,
evermore and evermore.
4 O ye heights of heav'n, adore him;
angel hosts, his praises sing;
pow'rs, dominions, bow before him,
and extol our God and King:
let no tongue on earth be silent,
ev'ry voice in concert ring,
evermore and evermore.
5 This is he whom seers and sages
sang of old with one accord;
whom the writings of the prophets
promised in their faithful word;
now he shines, the long-expected;
let our songs declare his worth,
evermore and evermore. Topics: Christmas; Year A Christ the King; Years A, B, and C Christmas 2; Years A, B, and C Christmas Day Used With Tune: CORDE NATUS (DIVINYM MYSTERIUM)

As royal banners are unfurled
Author: Alan Gaunt (b. 1935); Venantius Fortunatus (530-609) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 1:14 Lyrics: 1 As royal banners are unfurled,
the cross displays its mystery:
the Maker of our flesh, in flesh,
impaled and hanging helplessly.
2 Already deeply wounded: see
his side now riven by a spear,
and all our sins are swept away
by blood and water flowing here.
3 See everything the prophets wrote
fulfilled in its totality,
and tell the nations of the world
our God is reigning from the tree.
4 This tree, ablaze with royal light
and with the blood-red robe it wears,
is hallowed and embellished by
the weight of holiness it bears.
5 Stretched like a balance here, his arms
have gauged the price of wickedness;
but, hanging here, his love outweighs
hell's unforgiving bitterness.
6 The Saviour, victim, sacrifice,
is, through his dying, glorified;
his life is overcome by death
and leaps up, sweeping death aside.
7 We hail the cross, faith's one true hope:
God's passion set in time and space,
by which our guilt is blotted out,
engulfed in such stupendous grace. Amen. Topics: Atonement; Church Year Good Friday; Church Year Christ the King; Good Friday; Other Saints and Festivals Holy Cross Day; Prophets; The Fifth Sunday of Lent Year C Used With Tune: VEXILLA REGIS
