Now, my tongue, the mystery telling

Author: Edward Caswall (1814-1878) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 57 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 1:20-23 Lyrics: 1 Now, my tongue, the mystery telling of the glorious body sing, and the blood, all price excelling, which the world's great Lord and King, in a virgin's womb once dwelling, shed for this world's ransoming. 2 That last night, at supper lying, with the Twelve, his chosen band, Jesus, with the law complying, keeps the feast its rites demand; then, more precious food supplying, gives himself with his own hand. 3 Word-made-flesh! his word is making earthly bread his flesh to be, wine his blood; and all partaking should from sinful thoughts be free. Faith alone, sight's limits breaking, show true hearts the mystery. 4 Therefore we, before him bending, this great sacrament revere; older rituals have their ending, for the newer rite is here; faith, our outward sense befriending, makes our inner vision clear. 5 Unto God be praise and honour: to the Father, to the Son, to the mighty Spirit, glory, ever Three and ever One: power and glory in the highest while eternal ages run. Amen. Topics: The Church Celebrates Holy Communion; Christian Year Maundy Thursday; Jesus Word of God Used With Tune: PANGE LINGUA Text Sources: Alt. Hymns Ancient and Modern, 1861

Once He Came in Blessing

Author: Jan Roh; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6 Appears in 33 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 1:23 Lyrics: 1 Once he came in blessing all our sins redressing, came in likeness lowly, Son of God most holy; bore the cross to save us, hope and freedom gave us. 2 Still he comes within us, still his voice would win us from the sins that hurt us; would to truth convert us from our foolish error ere he comes in terror. 3 Thus if we have known him, not ashamed to own him, nor have spurned him coldly, but will trust him boldly, he will then receive us, heal us, and forgive us. 4 Those who then are loyal find a welcome royal. Come then, O Lord Jesus, from our sins release us; let us here confess you till in heav'n we bless you.
