Sing, My Tongue, the Ageless Story

Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Holy Week Triduum; Holy Week Good Friday; Holy Week Veneration of the Cross Lyrics: 1 Sing, my tongue, the ageless story As the cross is lifted high! Tell how Christ our Savior conquered, When for us he came to die As a victim in the battle, Death's dominion to belie. 2 Adam tasted sin and sorrow, Eating of the fearful tree; All undoing our enchainment, By the tree Christ sets us free, Crushing hell's own tool of bondage By his great humility. 3 Silence cloaked the earth and heavens Round the hill of Calvary; Nailed upon the tree of glory, Christ endured his agony. In his royal blood descending Comes our peace, our liberty. 4 Cross triumphant! Cross transforming! Ensign of humanity! Faithful cross, above all others, One and only noble tree: Gracious wood and gracious iron, Gracious burden borne on thee! Scripture: John 3 Used With Tune: PANGE LINGUA

The Love that Clothes Itself in Light

Author: Alan Gaunt Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: The Christian Year Holy Week; Christian Year Holy Week Lyrics: 1 The Love that clothes itself in light, stands naked now, despised, betrayed, receiving blows to face and head from hands that Love itself has made. 2 The Love that lifts the stars and sun, collapses, spent, beneath the cross; the Love that fills the universe, goes on to death and total loss. 3 Love, helpless, comes to Calvary, rejected, scorned and crucified; Love hangs in shame, and dies alone, but Love abased, is glorified. 4 Extinguished with the sun at noon, Love's light transcends all history; Love, wrapped in linen, Love entombed, still wraps all heaven in mystery. 5 Though Love is lost, Love finds us here; though Love is absent, Love remains; where Love is finished, Love begins; where Love is dead, Love lives and reigns!

There's a Wideness in God's Mercy

Author: Frederick William Faber Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 934 hymnals Topics: Monday in Holy Week Year ABC Lyrics: 1 There's a wideness in God's mercy like the wideness of the sea; there's a kindness in God's justice which is more than liberty. 2 There is no place where earth's sorrows are more felt than up in heaven; there is no place where earth's failings have such gracious judgement given. 3 There is plentiful redemption in the blood that Christ has shed; there is joy for all the members in the sorrows of the Head. 4 Troubled souls, why will you scatter like a crowd of frightened sheep? Foolish hearts, why will you wander from a love so true and deep? 5 For the love of God is broader than the measures of the mind, and the heart of the Eternal is most wonderfully kind.
