What Child Is This
Author: William Chatterton Dix, 1837-98) Hymnal: WSCW1969 #719 (1969) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.8.6.7 First Line: What Child is this, who, laid to rest Lyrics: 1 What Child is this, who, laid to rest,
On Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
Haste, haste to bring him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!
2 Why lies he in such mean estate
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear; for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading.
Nails, spear shall pierce him through,
The cross be borne for me, for you:
Hail, hail the Word made flesh,
The Babe, the son of Mary!
3 So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh,
Come peasant, king, to own him.
The King of kings salvation brings;
Let loving hearts enthrone him.
Raise, raise the song on high,
The Virgin sings her lullaby:
Joy, joy, for Christ is born,
The Babe, the son of Mary!

Of the Father's Love Begotten
Author: John Mason Neale, 1818-66; Aurelius Prudentius, 348-c. 413; Henry W. Baker, 1821-77 Hymnal: WSCW1969 #721 (1969) Lyrics: 1 Of the Father's love begotten
Ere the worlds began to be,
He is Alpha and Omega,
He the Source, the Ending, he,
Of the things that are that have been
And that future years shall see
Evermore and evermore.
2 O that birth forever blesse'd
When the Virgin, full of grace,
By the Holy Ghost conceiving,
Bore the Savior of our race,
And the Babe, the world's Redeemer,
First revealed his sacred face,
Evermore and evermore.
3 O ye heights of heaven, adore him;
Angel hosts, his praises sing;
Powers, dominions, bow before him
And extol our God and King.
Let no tongue on earth be silent,
Every voice in concert ring
Evermore and evermore.
4 Christ, to thee, with God the Father
And, O Holy Ghost, to thee,
Hymn and chant and high thanksgiving
And unending praises be,
Honor, glory, and dominion,
And eternal victory
Evermore and evermore. Amen. Topics: The Christian Year Epiphanytide Tune Title: DIVINUM MYSTERIUM

The Only Son from Heaven
Author: Arthur T. Russell, 1806-74; Elizabeth Cruciiger, c. 1500-35 Hymnal: WSCW1969 #722 (1969) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.6 Lyrics: 1 The only Son from heaven,
Foretold by ancient seers,
By God the Father given,
In human form appears
No sphere his light confining,
No star so brightly shining
As he, our Morning Star.
2 O time of God appointed,
O bright and holy morn!
He comes, the King anointed,
The Christ, the Virgin-born,
Grim death to vanquish for us,
To open heaven before us
And bring us life again.
3 O Lord, our hearts awaken
To know and love thee more,
In faith to stand unshaken,
In spirit to adore,
That we still heavenward hasting,
Yet here thy joy foretasting,
May reap its fullness there.
4 O Father, here before thee,
With God the Holy Ghost,
And Jesus, we adore thee,
Thou Pride of angel-host:
Before thee mortals lowly
Cry, "Holy, holy, holy,
One God in Persons Three!" Amen. Topics: The Christian Year Epiphanytide Tune Title: HERR CHRIST, DER EINIG GOTTS SOHN
The Only Son from Heaven
O Wondrous Type! O Vision Fair
Author: John Mason Neale, 1818-66 Hymnal: WSCW1969 #723 (1969) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O wondrous type! O vision fair
Of glory that the Church may share,
Which Christ upon the mountain shows,
Where brighter than the sun he glows!
2 With Moses and Elijah nigh
The incarnate Lord holds converse high;
And from the cloud the Holy One
Bears record to the only Son.
3 With shining face and bright array,
Christ deigns to manifest today
What glory shall be theirs above
Who joy in God with perfect love.
4 And faithful hearts are raised on high
By this great vision's mystery;
For which in joyful strains we raise
The voice of prayer, the hymn of praise.
5 O Father, with the eternal Son,
And Holy Spirit, ever One,
Vouchsafe to bring us by thy grace
To see thy glory face to face. Amen.

My Song is Love Unknown
Author: Samuel Crossman, 1624-83 Hymnal: WSCW1969 #725 (1969) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Lyrics: 1 My song is love unknown,
My Savior’s love to me,
Love to the loveless shown,
That they might lovely be.
O who am I,
That for my sake
The Lord should take
Frail flesh and die?
2 He came from his blest throne,
Salvation to bestow;
But men made strange, and none
The longed-for Christ would know.
But O my Friend,
My Friend, indeed,
Who at my need
His life did spend!
3 Sometimes they strew his way,
And His sweet praises sing;
Resounding all the day
Hosannas to their King.
Then “Crucify!”
Is all their breath,
And for his death
They thirst and cry.
4 Why, what has my Lord done?
What makes this rage and spite?
He made the lame to run,
He gave the blind their sight.
Sweet injuries!
Yet they at these
Themselves displease
And 'gainst Him rise.
5 They rise, and needs will have
My dear Lord made away;
A murderer they save,
The Prince of life they slay.
Yet cheerful he
To suffering goes
That he his foes
From thence might free.
6 Here might I stay and sing,
No story so divine;
Never was love, dear King,
Never was grief like thine!
This is my Friend,
In whose sweet praise
I all my days
Could gladly spend. Topics: The Christian Year Lent / Holy Week Tune Title: LOVE UNKNOWN

Ride On, Ride On in Majesty
Author: Henry Hart Milman, 1791-1868 Hymnal: WSCW1969 #727 (1969) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Ride on, ride on in majesty!
Hark! All the tribes hosanna cry.
0 Savior meek, pursue your road,
With palms and scattered garments strowed.
2 Ride on, ride on in majesty!
In lowly pomp ride on to die.
0 Christ, your triumphs now begin
O'er captive death and conquered sin.
3 Ride on, ride on, in majesty!
The angel armies in the sky
Look down with sad and wondering eyes
To see the approaching Sacrifice.
4 Ride on, ride on in majesty!
Your last and fiercest strife is nigh;
The Father on his sapphire throne
Expects his own anointed Son.
5 Ride on, ride on, in majesty!
In lowly pomp ride on to die,
Bow your meek head to mortal pain,
Then take, 0 Christ, your power and reign! Topics: The Christian Year Palm Sunday Tune Title: THE KING'S MAJESTY
Ride On, Ride On in Majesty
Sing, My Tongue, the Glorious Battle
Author: John Mason Neale, 1818-66; Venantius Fortunatus, 530-609 Hymnal: WSCW1969 #728 (1969) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle,
Sing the ending of the fray;
Now above the cross, the trophy,
Sound the loud triumphant lay:
Tell how Christ, the world's Redeemer,
As a victim won the day.
2 Tell how, when at length the fullness
Of the appointed time was come,
He, the Word, was born of woman,
Left for us his Father's home,
Showed to men the perfect manhood,
Shone as light amidst the gloom.
3 Thus, with thirty years accomplished,
Went he forth from Nazareth,
Destined, dedicate, willing,
Wrought his work, and met his death;
Like a lamb he humbly yielded
On the cross his dying breath.
4 Faithful cross, thou sign of triumph,
Now for man the noblest tree,
None in foliage, none in blossom,
None in fruit thy peer may be;
Symbol of the world's redemption,
For the weight that hung on thee!
5 Unto God be praise and glory:
To the Father and the Son,
To the eternal Spirit honor
Now and evermore be done;
Praise and glory in the highest,
While the timeless ages run. Amen. Topics: The Christian Year Good Friday Tune Title: FORTUNATUS NEW
Sing, My Tongue, the Glorious Battle
