Praise to the Holiest in the Height
Author: John Henry Newman (1801-1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 169 hymnals Scripture: John 18, 19 Lyrics: 1 Praise to the Holiest in the height,
and in the depth be praise;
in all his words most wonderful,
most sure in all his ways.
2 O loving wisdom of our God!
When all was sin and shame,
a second Adam to the fight
and to the rescue came.
3 O generous love! that flesh and blood,
which did in Adam fail,
should strive afresh against the foe,
should strive and should prevail:
4 and that the highest gift of grace
should flesh and blood refine;
God's presence and his very self,
and essence all-divine;
5 who in the garden secretly,
and on the cross on high,
should teach his followers, and inspire
to suffer and to die.
6 Praise to the Holiest in the height,
and in the depth be praise;
in all his words most wonderful,
most sure in all his ways. Topics: Holy Week (Good Friday); Praise of God; Sunday of the Passion Used With Tune: GERONTIUS
Praise to the Holiest in the Height
O Love, How Deep, How Broad, How High
Author: Benjamin Webb Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 139 hymnals Scripture: John 19 Lyrics: 1 O love, how deep, how broad, how high,
beyond all thought and fantasy,
that God, the Son of God, should take
our mortal form for mortals’ sake!
2 For us baptized, for us he bore
his holy fast and hungered sore;
for us temptation sharp he knew,
for us the tempter overthrew.
3 For us he prayed; for us he taught;
for us his daily works he wrought:
by words and signs and actions thus
still seeking not himself but us.
4 For us by wickedness betrayed,
scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed,
he bore the shameful cross and death,
for us gave up his dying breath.
5 For us he rose from death again;
for us he went on high to reign;
for us he sent his Spirit here
to guide, to strengthen, and to cheer.
6 All glory to our Lord and God
for love so deep, so high, so broad —
the Trinity, whom we adore
forever and forevermore. Topics: Son and Redeemer; Christ; Christ--Intercessor; Christ--Love of; Christ--Substitute, our Used With Tune: DEO GRACIAS (AGINCOURT SONG) Text Sources: Latin (15th cent.)

The royal banners forward go
Author: Venantius Fortunatus, 530-609; John Mason Neale, 1818-66 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 134 hymnals Scripture: John 19:31-38 Lyrics: 1 The royal banners forward go,
the cross shines forth in mystic glow
where he in flesh, our flesh who made,
our sentence bore, our ransom paid.
2 There while he hung, his sacred side
by soldier's spear was opened wide,
to cleanse us in the precious flood
of water mingled with his blood.
3 Fulfilled is now what David told
in true prophetic song of old,
how God the nations' king should be:
for God is reigning from the tree.
4 O tree of glory, tree most fair,
ordained those holy limbs to bear,
how bright in royal robe it stood -
the purple of a Saviour's blood!
5 Upon its arms, like balance true,
he weighed the price for sinners due,
the price which none but he could pay,
and spoiled the spoiler of his prey.
6 To you, eternal Three in One,
let homage due by all be done;
as by the cross you now restore,
so rule and guide us evermore. Topics: Atonement; Fulfilment; Jesus Christ Passion and Cross; Prophetic Witness; Redemption Used With Tune: GONFALON ROYAL

the living way to heaven is seen.
The middle wall is broken down,
and all the world may enter in.

I want no sacrifice beside;
for me, for me the Lamb is slain;
'tis finished! I am justified.
4 The reign of sin and death is o'er,
and all may live from sin set free;

Earth has many a noble city
Author: Prudentius, 348-c. 413; Edward Caswall, 1814-1878 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 61 hymnals Scripture: John 19:38-42 Lyrics: 1 Earth has many a noble city;
Bethl'hem, thou dost all excel:
out of thee the Lord from heaven
came to rule his Israel.
2 Fairer than the sun at morning
was the star that told his birth,
to the world its God announcing
seen in fleshly form on earth.
3 Eastern sages at his cradle
make oblations rich and rare;
see them give in deep devotion,
gold and frankincense and myrrh.
4 Sacred gifts of mystic meaning:
incense doth their God disclose,
gold the King of kings proclaimeth,
myrrh his sepulcher foreshows.
5 Jesu, whom the Gentiles worshipped
at thy glad Epiphany,
unto thee with God the Father
and the Spirit glory be. Topics: Epiphany; Epiphany Used With Tune: STUTTGART

Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle
Author: Venantius Fortunatus, 530-609; John Mason Neale, 1818-66 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 59 hymnals Scripture: John 19:31-38 Lyrics: 1 Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle;
of the mighty conflict sing:
tell the triumph of the victim,
to his cross your tribute bring.
Jesus Christ, the world's Redeemer,
from that cross now reigns as King.
2 When at length the appointed fullness
of the sacred time was come,
he was sent, the world's Creator,
from the Father's heavenly home
and was found in human fashion
offspring of the Virgin's womb.
3 When the thirty years were ended
which on earth he willed to see,
willingly he meets his passion,
born to set his people free;
on the cross the Lamb is lifted,
there the sacrifice to be.
4 There the nails and spear he suffers,
vinegar and gall and reed;
from his sacred body pierced
blood and water both proceed:
precious flood, which all creation
from the stain of sin has freed.
5 Faithful cross, above all other,
one and only noble tree,
none in foliage, none in blossom,
none in fruit your peer may be;
sweet the wood and sweet the iron,
and your load, most sweet is he.
6 Praise and honour to the Father,
praise and honour to the Son,
praise and honour to the Spirit,
ever Three and ever One:
One in might and One in glory
while eternal ages run.
