Sing, My Tongue, the Glorious Battle
Author: Venantius Honorius Fortunatus; John Mason Neale Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 41 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:18-24 Lyrics: 1 Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle;
tell the triumph far and wide;
tell aloud the wondrous story
of the cross, the Crucified;
tell how Christ, the world's redeemer,
vanquished death the day he died.
2 God in mercy saw us fallen,
sunk in shame and misery,
felled to death in Eden's garden,
where in pride we claimed the tree;
then another tree was chosen,
which the world from death would free.
3 Tell how, when at length the fullness
of the appointed time was come,
Christ, the Word, was born of woman,
left for us the heavenly home,
blazed the path of true obedience,
shone as light amidst the gloom.
4 Thirty years among us dwelling,
Jesus went from Nazareth,
destined, dedicated, willing,
did his work and met his death;
like a lamb he humbly yielded
on the cross his dying breath.
5 Faithful cross, true sign of triumph,
be for all the noblest tree;
none in foliage, none in blossom,
none in fruit your equal be;
symbol of the world's redemption,
for your burden makes us free.

Disposer supreme, and Judge of the earth
Author: Isaac Williams (1802-1865); Jean de Santeul (1630--1697) Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 35 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:18-31 Lyrics: 1 Disposer supreme, and Judge of the earth,
who choosest for thine the meek and the poor;
to frail earthen vessels, and things of no worth,
entrusting thy riches which ay shall endure;
2 Those vessels soon fail, though full of thy light,
and at thy decree are broken and gone;
thence brightly appeareth thy truth in its might,
as through the clouds riven the lightnings have shone.
3 Like clouds are they borne to do thy great will,
and swift as the winds about the world go:
the Word with his wisdom their spirits doth fill;
they thunder, they lighten, the waters o'erflow.
4 Their sound goeth forth, 'Christ Jesus the Lord!'
then Satan doth fear, his citadels fall;
as when the dread trumpets went forth at thy word,
and one long blast shattered the Canaanite's wall.
5 O loud be their trump, and stirring their sound,
to rouse us, O Lord, from slumber of sin:
the lights thou hast kindled in darkness around,
O may they awaken our spirits within.
6 All honour and praise, dominion and might,
to God, Three in One, eternally be,
who round us hath shed his own marvellous light,
and called us from darkness his glory to see. Topics: God in judgement and justice; Light; Sin; Saints Used With Tune: OLD 104TH

let nothing of my sin remain.
For cleansing through your cross and pain,
Christ crucified, I come.

that angels well might envy me,

lights who lighten every land,
princes who with Jesus dwell,
judges of his Israel;
2 On the nations sunk in night
ye have shed the Gospel light;
sin and error flee away,
truth reveals the promised day.
3 Not by warrior’s spear and sword,
not by art of human word,
preaching but the cross of shame,
rebel hearts for Christ ye tame.
4 Earth, that long in sin and pain
groaned in Satan’s deadly chain,
now to serve its God is free
in the law of liberty.
5 Distant lands with one acclaim
tell the honour of your name,
who, wherever man has trod,
teach the mysteries of God.
6 Glory to the Three in One
while eternal ages run,
who from deepest shades of night
called us to his glorious light. Topics: Saints; Proper 5 Year C; Second Sunday Before Advent Year A Used With Tune: UNIVERSITY COLLEGE
