Sing, My Tongue, How Glorious Battle
Author: Venantius Fortunatus Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 6 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 3:6 Lyrics: Part I
1 Sing, my tongue, how glorious battle
glorious victory became;
and above the cross, his trophy,
tell the triumph and the fame,
tell how he, the world's Redeemer,
by his death for us o'ercame.
2 God in pity saw us fallen,
shamed and sunk in misery,
when we fell on death by tasting
fruit of the forbidden tree:
then another tree was chosen
which the world from death should free.
3 Thus the scheme of our salvation
was of old in order laid,
that the manifold deceiver's
art by art might be outweighed,
and the lure the foe put forward
into means of healing made.
4 Therefore, when the appointed fullness
of the holy time was come,
he was sent, who maketh all things,
forth from God's eternal home;
thus he came to earth incarnate,
offspring of a virgin's womb.
Part II
5 Thirty years among us dwelling,
his appointed time fulfilled,
born for this, he meets his Passion,
for that this he freely willed:
on the cross the Lamb is lifted,
where his life-blood shall be spilled.
6 Faithful cross! above all other,
one and only noble tree!
None in foliage, none in blossom,
none in fruit thy peer may be!
Sweetest wood and sweetest iron!
Sweetest weight is hung on thee.
7 Thou alone wast counted worthy
this world's ransom to uphold;
for a shipwrecked race preparing
harbor, like the ark of old;
with the sacred blood anointed
from the smitten Lamb that rolled.
8 To the Trinity be glory
everlasting, as is meet;
equal to the Father, equal
to the Son and Paraclete:
Trinal Unity, whose praises
all created things repeat.

Wisdom from on High Is Dawning
Author: Adam Michael Wood Meter: Irregular Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Isaiah 60:1-3 Lyrics: 1 Wisdom from on high is dawning.
Even now a golden ray
shines into a world of shadows
from the realms of endless day.
Hidden womb who birthed the heavens
in the womb now hides away.
2 In her heart the joy of heaven,
in her hands the poor of earth,
on her back all human sorrow,
in her laugh all human mirth.
God most human, God most holy,
God incarnate comes to birth.

as her glory fills the sky.
Down in adoration falling,
we her children raise the cry:
She who is and was and evermore shall be,
alleluia! God most high! Topics: Darkness and Light; God Feminine Language and Images for; Incarnation; Jesus Christ Birth of; Wisdom Used With Tune: PICARDY

Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence
Author: Gerard Moultrie Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 172 hymnals Scripture: Habakkuk 2:20 Lyrics: 1 Let all mortal flesh keep silence,
and with fear and trembling stand;
ponder nothing earthly-minded,
for with blessing in his hand,
Christ our God to earth descendeth,
our full homage to demand.
2 King of kings, yet born of Mary,
as of old on earth he stood;
Lord of lords, in human vesture,
in the body and the blood,
he will give to all the faithful
his own self for heav'nly food.
3 Rank on rank the host of heaven
spreads its vanguard on the way,
as the Light of light descendeth
from the realms of endless day,
that the pow'rs of hell may vanish
as the darkness clears away.
4 At his feet the six-winged seraph;
cherubim, with sleepless eye,
veil their faces to the presence,
as with ceaseless voice they cry,
"Alleluia, alleluia,
alleluia, Lord Most High!"

the Desire of all the nations —
it is time he should appear!'

and he burdened her with blessing,
and he pained her with renown;
for she bore the Lord's anointed
for his cross and for his crown.

since the ages first began,
for in him was hid the secret
which through all the ages ran —
Son of Mary, Son of David,
Son of God, and Son of Man. Topics: Advent; Annunciation; Church Year Advent; Church Year Christmas; Jesus Names and images for; Loneliness; Mary Used With Tune: PICARDY

by the blood that is life's token,
for the life found in his name:
so the Word-made-flesh has spoken,
and his presence here we claim.

by the cross we bear as sign,
through the Spirit's gifts and guiding,
with these gifts of bread and wine:
so the church in faith abiding
keeps the feast Christ made divine.

joined in breaking-forth of praise,
given the peace of God's restoring,
sent in peace to live always:
so we show forth our adoring
as God's servants all our days. Used With Tune: PICARDY

By that flood from stain are freed.

That your birth bestowed, spend;

Gently on your bosom tend. Topics: Good Friday; Holy Thursday (Evening Mass of th Lord's Supper); Good Friday; Triumph of the Cross (September 14); Cross; Jesus Christ; Paschal Mystery Used With Tune: PICARDY Text Sources: Tr.: The Three Days, 1981
