In Her Lord His Church Rejoices

Author: Adam of St. Victor, 12th Century; J. M.H. Hymnal: CYBER #10681 Meter: 8.8.7 D Person Name: Adam of St. Victor, 12th Century Lyrics: 1 In her Lord His Church rejoices, Whom the host of heavenly voices Welcome to His earthly throne: Peace from Heav’n their song reciteth, Earth to Heav’n it reuniteth, Church with angels now are one. 2 To the flesh the Word is chainèd As it had been fore-ordainèd: Unapproached by mortal man, Bears a virgin God’s own Temple, Nor exemplar nor exemple, Having since the worlds began. 3 ’Tis a marvel past discerning, That the bush with fire is burning, Yet the bush it not consumes; Dews the skies give, mists the mountains, Melt the clouds, the hills are fountains, And the Root of Jesse blooms. 4 From the Root the Flower upgroweth, As the oracle foreshoweth Filling the rapt seer with joy: Jesse’s Root was David’s pattern, So the Rod the Virgin matern, And its flower her heavenly Boy. 5 Where is gladness more abounding? Where the plummet deep for sounding Such abysmal mystery? Here is theme for endless wonder; Saints and angels, praising, ponder— God an infant deigns to be! 6 Every charm the Flower attendeth: It to inner sense commendeth Seven-fold grace’s rich perfume: Let us in this Flower delight us, To the feast which doth invite us With its fair and fragrant bloom. 7 Jesu, Branch that shall not wither, May the day which brought Thee hither, Bring Thy people joy and peace: Flower and fruit of virgin culture, Vital in Thy brief sepulture, Never shall Thy praises cease.

Now The World New Pleasures Finds

Author: Adam of St. Victor, 12th century; Herbert Kynaston Hymnal: CYBER #10791 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7.7 Person Name: Adam of St. Victor, 12th century Lyrics: 1 Now the world new pleasures finds; Hastes its votive sweets to pay; All its wintry shroud unwinds, Casts grave-clothes and night away. Wakes to see its Savior rise, Wakes on earth and in the skies; Keeps His Paschal holy day. 2 Nimbly glide the ductile fires; Rolls the light its tidal joys; Ocean’s axles smooth their tires; The world purges all alloys: Clouds ascend the highest blue, Weights their lowest depths pursue, Earth upholds its equipoise. 3 Heav’n itself, now more serene, Tempers all its breezes keen; Brightly smiles the waters’ sheen: And vales, terraced high in flowers, All their drought with streamlets flush, Pearl their dew with sunlight’s gush; Spring leads on his joyous hours. 4 Now the prince of all the world Winter’s icy flag has furled; Downward all his might is hurled; The tyrant of all mankind, When he sought the spotless soul Of the Savior to control, Cast his kingdom to the wind. 5 Life has triumphed over death; Sinking to the hell beneath, Man recovers living breath; And opens his eyes to see All the joys of paradise; For the cherub’s flaming sword Turns but one way—to the Lord.

Softly Sing Our Parting Lay

Author: Mrs. A. M. Adams Hymnal: CYBER #8752 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Person Name: Mrs. A. M. Adams Lyrics: 1 Softly sing our parting lay, Volume four we close today; Aspiration, courage, cheer, All are found recorded here. Lay this treasured book aside, Other volumes open wide, Rend we must our mutual bond, Grasp alone the more beyond! 2 Grasping things to us now sealed, Hidden truths will be revealed, Myriad wonders meet our eyes, Minds to higher levels rise. We would lighten others’ cares, Lift them heav’nward unawares; Not for self alone would live, Much received, would freely give. 3 Comrades, faint not, do not tire, After nobler things aspire; Ever onward, ne’er despond, This our signal, "More beyond." Glorious race may each one run, Priceless plaudits hear—"Well done, Lay then every burden down; Welcome, victor, wear thy crown." Languages: English Tune Title: LEE
