The Royal Banners Forward Go

Author: Venantius Fortunatus, 530-609; John Mason Neale, 1818-66; Anonmous Hymnal: WSCW1969 #729 (1969) Meter: 8.8.8.8 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 Where deep for us the spear was dyed, Life's torrent rushing from his side, To wash us in the precious flood Where mingled water flowed and blood. 3 Fulfilled is all that David told In true prophetic song of old; Amid the nations, God, said he, Has reigned and triumphed from the tree. 4 O tree of beauty, tree of light, O tree with royal purple dight,* Elect, on whose triumphal breast Those holy limbs should find their rest; 5 On whose dear arms, so widely flung, The weight of this world's Ransom hung The price of humankind to pay And spoil the Spoiler of his prey. 6 O cross, our one reliance, hail! Still may your power with us avail To give new virtue to the saint And pardon to the penitent. 7 To thee, eternal Three in One, Let homage meet by all be done Whom by the cross thou dost restore, Preserve, and govern evermore.

All Is O'er, the Pain, the Sorrow

Author: Gerard Moultrie, 1829-85 Hymnal: WSCW1969 #731 (1969) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 All is o'er, the pain, the sorrow, Human taunts and Satan's spite; Death shall be despoiled tomorrow Of the Prey he grasps tonight. Yet once more, his own to save, Christ must sleep within the grave. 2 Fierce and deadly was the anguish On the bitter cross he bore; How did soul and body languish Till the toil of death was o'er! But that toil, so fierce and dread, Bruised and crushed the Serpent's head. 3 Close and still the tomb that holds him While in brief repose he lies; Deep the slumber that enfolds him, Veiled awhile from mortal eyes-- Slumber such as needs must be After hard-won victory. 4 So this night, with voice of sadness Chant the anthem soft and low; Loftier strains of praise and gladness From tomorrow's harps shall flow: Death and Hell at length are slain, Christ has triumphed! Christ doth reign! Topics: The Christian Year Holy Saturday Tune Title: PSALM 146

Alleluia! 4 That night the apostles met in fear; Amidst them came their Lord most dear And said, "Peace be unto you here." Alleluia! 5 When Thomas afterwards had heard That Jesus had fulfilled his word, He doubted if it were the Lord.

Neither could the gates of death Nor the tomb's dark portal Nor the watchers nor the seal Hold thee as a mortal. 3 But today amidst thine own Thou didst stand, bestowing That, thy peace, which evermore Passes human knowing. Come, ye faithful, raise the strain Of triumphant gladness; God has brought his Israel Into joy from sadness. 4 "Alleluia!" now we cry To our King immortal, Who, triumphant, burst the bars Of the tomb's dark portal; "Alleluia!: with the Son God the Father praising; "Alleluia!" yet again To the Spirit raising.
