Now, my tongue, the mystery telling
Author: St Thomas Aquinas, 1227-1274; Edward Caswall; J. M. Neale Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 51 hymnals Matching Instances: 10 Lyrics: PART ONE -
1 Now, my tongue, the mystery telling
of the glorious body sing,
and the blood, all price excelling,
which the Gentiles' Lord and King,
in a Virgin's womb once dwelling,
shed for this world's ransoming.
2 Given for us, and condescending
to be born for us below,
he, with us in converse blending,
dwelt the seed of truth to sow,
till he closed with wondrous ending
his most patient life of woe.
3 That last night, at supper lying,
'mid the Twelve, his chosen band,
Jesus, with the law complying,
keeps the feast its rites demand;
then, more precious food supplying,
gives himself with his own hand.
4 Word-made-flesh, true bread he maketh
by his word his flesh to be,
wine his blood; which whoso taketh
must from carnal thoughts be free:
faith alone, though sight forsaketh,
shows true hearts the mystery.
PART TWO -
5 Therefore we, before him bending,
this great sacrament revere:
types and shadows have their ending,
for the newer rite is here;
faith, our outward sense befriending,
makes our inward vision clear.
6 Glory let us give and blessing
to the Father and the Son,
honour, might, and praise addressing,
while eternal ages run;
ever too his love confessing,
who, from both, with both is One. Amen. Topics: Holy Communion; Maundy Thursday Scripture: 1 Peter 1:18-19 Used With Tune: GRAFTON (TANTUM ERGO)

Author: Shirley Erena Murray (b. 1931) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 6 hymnals Matching Instances: 3 Lyrics: 1 In the name of Christ we gather,
in the name of Christ we sing!
Celebrate new vows, new promise
of a life's whole offering,
here ordained to lead God's people
at the Gospel's beckoning.
2 Sons and daughters of the Spirit,
we are called to teach and care,
called as were the first disciples,
commonwealth of Christ to share,
by the bread and wine and water
sacraments of grace declare.
3 In the ministry of preaching
may the Word spring into life,
in the time of doubt and challenge
may its truth affirm belief,
in the day of pain and darkness
heal the hurt of guilt and grief.
4 Now within this solemn moment
we invoke the power of God —
by the hands laid on in blessing
be there strength to take the load,
be there faithfulness in loving,
be there courage for this road.
5 Word of joy, enlivening Spirit,
more than lover, parent, friend,
born in Jesus, born in Mary,
born in us, that love extend,
grow within your chosen servant,
life of God that has no end! Topics: Baptism; Belief; Blessing; Church Ministry; Discipleship; Holy Communion; Holy Spirit inspiration of; Ordination; The Church's Ministry and Mission; Truth; Vocation Scripture: Hebrews 13:15-16 Used With Tune: GRAFTON (TANTUM ERGO SACRAMENTUM)

When Our Confidence Is Shaken
Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 9 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 When our confidence is shaken in beliefs we thought secure,
when the spirit in its sickness seeks but cannot find a cure,
God is active in the tensions of a faith not yet mature.
2 Solar systems, void of meaning, freeze the spirit into stone;
always our researches lead us to the ultimate unknown.
Faith must die, or come full circle to its source in God alone.
3 In the discipline of praying, when it's hardest to believe;
in the drudgery of caring, when it's not enough to grieve;
faith, maturing, learns acceptance of the insights we receive.
4 God is love, and thus redeems us in the Christ we crucify;
this is God's eternal answer to the world's eternal why.
May we in this faith maturing be content to live and die! Topics: Sanctifiying and Perfecting Grace Prayer, Trust, Hope; Faith; Redemption Used With Tune: GRAFTON

Christ, Our Human Likeness Sharing
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Christ, our human likeness sharing,
Heaven's love on earth portrayed;
Christ the Shepherd, tending, caring,
In His death our ransom paid:
Christ the Savior, Christ the Servant,
Be Your life in us displayed.
2 Hear the word that Christ has spoken,
Help the weak, the hungry feed;
See the pow'rs of darkness broken,
Sinners pardoned, captives freed:
Christ the Savior, Christ the Servant,
Help us meet our neighbor's need.
3 Christ, in ev'ry congregation
Build Your temple, stone by stone,
With Your word as firm foundation
For a faith matured and grown:
Christ the Savior, Christ the Servant,
Make in us Your Gospel known.
4 Come, O living Christ, renew us,
As of old in wind and flame;
With the Spirit's pow'r endue us,
Servants of Your saving name:
Christ the Savior, Christ the Servant,
Christ whose kingdom we proclaim.

Word supreme, before creation
Author: John Keble, 1792-1866 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 16 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Word supreme, before creation
Born of God eternally
Who didst will for our salvation
To be born on earth, and die;
Well thy saints have kept their station,
Watching till thine hour drew nigh.
2 Now ’tis come, and faith espies thee:
Like an eagle in the morn,
John in steadfast worship eyes thee,
Thy belov'd, thy latest born:
In thy glory he descries thee
Reigning from the tree of scorn.
3 He first hoping and believing
Did beside the grave adore;
Latest he, the warfare leaving,
Landed on the eternal shore;
And his witness we receiving
Own thee Lord for evermore.
4 Much he asked in loving wonder,
On thy bosom leaning, Lord!
In that secret place of thunder,
Answer kind didst thou accord,
Wisdom for thy Church to ponder
Till the day of dread award.
5 Thee, the Almighty King eternal,
Father of the eternal Word;
Thee, the Father’s Word supernal,
Thee, of both, the Breath adored;
Heaven, and earth, and realms infernal
Own, one glorious God and Lord. Amen.
