Author: St John of Damascus; J. M. Neale, 1818-66 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #122 (1986) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Thou hallowed chosen morn of praise,
That best and greatest shinest:
Lady and queen and day of days,
Of things divine, divinest!
On thee our praises Christ adore
For ever and for evermore.
2 Come, let us taste the Vine’s new fruit,
For heavenly joy preparing;
To-day the branches with the Root
In Resurrection sharing:
Whom as true God our hymns adore
For ever and for evermore.
3 Rise, Sion, rise! and looking forth,
Behold thy children round thee!
From east and west, from south and north,
Thy scattered sons have found thee;
And in thy bosom Christ adore
For ever and for evermore.
4 O Father, O co-equal Son,
O co-eternal Spirit,
In persons Three, in Godhead One,
And One in power and merit;
In thee baptized, we thee adore
For ever and for evermore. Amen. Topics: The Christian Year Eastertide Languages: English Tune Title: MACH'T MIT MIR GOTT
