I Bind unto Myself Today
Author: St. Patrick, c. 372-466; Cecil Frances Alexander, 1823-95 Hymnal: WSCW1969 #746 (1969) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: I bind unto myself today
The strong name of the Trinity,
By invocation of the same,
The Three in One and One in Three.
1 I bind this day to me forever,
By power of faith, Christ's incarnation;
His baptism in the Jordan river;
His death on cross for my salvation;
His bursting from the spiced tomb;
His riding up the heavenly way;
His coming at the day of doom;
I bind unto myself today.
2 I bind unto myself today
The virtues of the starlit heaven,
The glorious sun’s life-giving ray,
The whiteness of the moon at even,
The flashing of the lightning free,
The whirling wind’s tempestuous shocks,
The stable earth, the deep salt sea,
Around the old eternal rocks.
3 I bind unto myself today
The power of God to hold and lead,
His eye to watch, His might to stay,
His ear to hearken to my need,
The wisdom of my God to teach,
His hand to guide, his shield to ward,
The word of God to give me speech,
His heavenly host to be my guard.
4 I bind unto myself the name,
The strong name of the Trinity;
By invocation of the same,
The Three in One, and One in Three --
Of whom all nature has creation --
Eternal Father, Spirit, Word:
Praise to the Lord of my salvation,
Salvation is of Christ the Lord. Amen. Topics: The Trinity Tune Title: ST. PATRICK'S BREASTPLATE

O God, O Lord of Heaven and Earth

O God, O Lord of Heaven and Earth
This Little Babe So Few Days Old
Author: Robert Southwell, 1561-95 Hymnal: WSCW1969 #717 (1969) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 This little Babe so few days old
Is come to rifle Satan's fold;
All hell doth at his presence quake,
Though he himself for cold do shake;
For in this weak unarmed wise
The gates of hell he will surprise.
2 With tears he fights and wins the field
His naked breast stands for a shield;
His battering shot are babish cries,
His arrows looks of weeping eyes,
His martial ensigns Cold and Need,
And feeble Flesh his warrior's steed.
3 His camp is pitchèd in a stall,
His bulwark but a broken wall;
The crib his trench, haystalks his stakes;
Of shepherds he his muster makes;
And thus, as sure his foe to wound,
The angels' trumps alarum sound.
4 My soul, with Christ join thou in fight;
Stick to His tents that he hath pight.*
Within his crib is surest ward;
This little Babe will be thy Guard.
If thou wilt foil thy foes with joy,
Then flit not from this heavenly Boy.

O Thou, Who Hast of Thy Pure Grace
Creator of the Stars of Night
Author: John Mason Neale, 1818-66 Hymnal: WSCW1969 #703 (1969) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Creator of the stars of night,
Thy people's everlasting Light:
Jesus, Redeemer, save us all
And hear thy servants when they call.
2 Thou, grieving that the ancient curse
Should doom to death a universe,
Hast found the healing, full of grace,
To cure and save our ruined race.
3 Thou camest, the Bridegroom of the bride,
As drew the world to eventide,
The spotless Victim all divine
Proceeding from a virgin shrine.
4 At whose dread name, majestic now,
All knees must bend, all hearts must bow;
All things celestial thee shall own,
And things terrestrial, Lord alone.
5 O thou, whose coming is with dread
To judge and doom the quick and dead,
Preserve us from the ancient Foe
While still we dwell on earth below.
6 To God the Father and the Son
And Holy Spirit, Three in One,
Praise, honor, might, and glory be
From age to age eternally. Amen.

O Savior, Rend the Heavens Wide

Author: John Ellerton, 1826-93; Coelius Sedulius, d. 450 Hymnal: WSCW1969 #709 (1969) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 From east to west, from shore to shore,
Let every heart awake and sing
The holy Child whom Mary bore,
The Christ, the everlasting King.
2 Behold, the world's Creator wears
The form and fashion of a slave;
Our very flesh our Maker shares,
His fallen creature, man, to save.
3 For this how wondrously he wrought!
A maiden, in her lowly place,
Became, in ways beyond all thought,
The chosen vessel of his grace.
4 And while the angels in the sky
Sang praise above the silent field,
To shepherds poor, the Lord most high,
The one great Shepherd, was revealed.
5 All glory for this blesséd morn
To God the Father ever be;
All praise to thee, O Virgin-born,
All praise, O Holy Ghost, to thee. Amen. Topics: The Christian Year Second Sunday After Christmas Tune Title: CHRISTUM WIR SOLLEN LOBEN SCHON

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.

Hark! All the tribes hosanna cry.

O'er captive death and conquered sin.

Look down with sad and wondering eyes
To see the approaching Sacrifice.

Your last and fiercest strife is nigh;
The Father on his sapphire throne
Expects his own anointed Son.

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

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. Amen.
