The royal banners forward go

Author: Venantius Fortunatus, 530-609; Anonymous Hymnal: SBHC1958 #75b (1958) Lyrics: 1 The royal banners forward go, The Cross shines forth in mystic glow Where he, as man, who gave man breath, Now bows beneath the yoke of death. 2 Fulfilled is all that David told In true prophetic song of old; How God the nations' King should be, For God is reigning from the Tree. A-men. 3 O Tree of beauty, Tree most fair, Ordained those holy limbs to bear; Gone is thy shame, each crimsoned bough Proclaims the King of glory now. 4 Blest Tree, whose chosen branches bore The wealth that did the world restore, The price of humankind to pay, And spoil the spoiler of his prey. 5 O Cross, our one reliance, hail! So may thy power with us avail More good for righteous souls to win, And save the sinner from his sin. 6 To Thee, eternal Three in One, Let homage meet by all be done: As by the Cross thou dost restore, So rule and guide us evermore. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Lent; The Church Year Palm Sunday; The Church Year Holy Week Tune Title: PARKER

Glory be to Jesus

Author: Edward Caswall, 1814 - 78 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #76 (1958) Meter: 6.5.6.5 Lyrics: 1 Glory be to Jesus, Who, in bitter pains, Poured for me the lifeblood From his sacred veins! 2 Grace and life eternal In that Blood I find; Blest be his compassion, Infinitely kind. 3 Blest through endless ages Be the precious stream Which from endless torments Doth the world redeem. 4 Abel’s blood for vengeance Pleaded to the skies; But the Blood of Jesus For our pardon cries. 5 Oft as earth exulting Wafts its praise on high, Angel-hosts rejoicing, Make their glad reply. 6 Lift we then our voices, Swell the mighty flood; Louder still and louder Praise the precious Blood!

There is a green hill far away

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1823 - 95 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #77a (1958) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 There is a green hill far away, Without a city wall, Where the dear Lord was crucified, Who died to save us all. 2 We may not know, we cannot tell What pains he had to bear, But we believe it was for us He hung and suffered there. 3 He died that we might be forgiven, He died to make us good; That we might go at last to heaven, Saved by his precious Blood. 4 There was no other good enough To pay the price of sin, He only could unlock the gate Of heaven, and let us in. 5 O dearly, dearly has he loved, And we must love him too, And trust in his redeeming Blood, And try his works to do.

O the pangs his soul sustained! Shun not suffering, shame, or loss; Learn of him to bear the cross. A-men. 3 Calvary's mournful mountain climb; There, adoring at his feet, Mark that miracle of time, God's own Sacrifice complete; 'It is finished,' hear him cry; Learn of Jesus Christ to die. 4 Early hasten to the tomb, Where they laid his breathless clay; All is solitude and gloom; Who hath taken him away? Christ is risen!--He meets our eyes; Saviour, teach us so to rise. Amen.

Come to Calvary's holy mountain

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #82 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Come to Calvary's holy mountain, Sinners, ruined by the fall; Here a pure and healing fountain Flows to you, to me, to all; In a full perpetual tide, Opened when our Saviour died. 2 Come in poverty and meanness, Come defiled, without, within; From infection and uncleanness, From the leprosy of sin, Wash your robes and make them white; Ye shall walk with God in light. 3 Come in sorrow and contrition, Wounded, impotent, and blind; Here the guilty, free remission, Here the troubled, peace may find: Health this fountain will restore; He that drinks shall thirst no more. 4 He that drinks shall live forever; 'Tis a soul-renewing flood: God is faithful; God will never Break his covenant of blood, Signed when our Redeemer died, Sealed when he was glorified.
