Now, my tongue, the mystery telling
Author: St Thomas Aquinas, 1227-1274; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866; Edward Caswall 1814-1878 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 51 hymnals Scripture: Romans 5:14 Lyrics: 1 Now, my tongue, the myst'ry telling
of the glorious body sing,
and the blood, all price excelling,
which the Gentiles' Lord and King,
in a virgin's womb once dwelling,
shed for this world's ransoming.
2 Giv'n for us, for us descending
of a virgin to proceed,
he, with us in converse blending,
scattered here the gospel seed,
till his sojourn drew to ending,
which he closed with wondrous deed.
3 At the last great supper lying,
circled by his chosen hand,
meekly with the law complying,
first he finished its command.
Then, immortal food supplying,
gave himself with his own hand.
4 Word made flesh, by word he maketh
very bread his flesh to be;
we in wine, Christ's blood partaketh,
and if senses fail to see,
faith alone the true heart taketh,
to behold the mystery.
5 Therefore we, before him bending,
this great sacrament revere:
types and shadows have their ending,
for the newer rite is here;
faith, our outward sense befriending,
makes our inward vision clear.
6 Glory let us give and blessing
to the Father and the Son,
honour, might and praise addressing,
while eternal ages run;
ever too his love confessing,
who, from both, with both is One. Amen. Topics: Communion; Holy Communion; Year A Easter 3; Year A Lent 1; Year A Proper 10; Year B Epiphany 2; Year B Second Sunday Before Lent; Years A, B, and C Christmas 2 Used With Tune: TANTUM ERGO (GRAFTON)

Name of All Majesty
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, 1926- Meter: 6.6.5.5.6.6.6.4 Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: Romans 5:17 Lyrics: 1 Name of all majesty,
fathomless mystery,
King of the ages
by angels adored;
power and authority,
splendour and dignity,
bow to his mastery--
Jesus is Lord!
2 Child of our destiny,
God from eternity,
love of the Father
on sinners outpoured;
see now what God has done
sending his only Son,
Christ the beloved One--
Jesus is Lord!
3 Saviour of Calvary,
costliest victory,
darkness defeated
and Eden restored;
born as a man to die,
nailed to a cross on high,
cold in the grave to lie--
Jesus is Lord!
4 Source of all sovereignty,
light, immortality,
life everlasting
and heaven assured;
so with the ransomed, we
praise him eternally,
Christ in his majesty--
Jesus is Lord! Topics: Jesus Christ Majesty Used With Tune: MAJESTAS
