O mystery profound
Now, my tongue, the mystery telling
Author: Edward Caswall (1814-1878); John Mason Neale (1818-1866); St Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225-1274) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #457 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: God in mystery Lyrics: 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.
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. Scripture: Mark 14:12-25 Languages: English Tune Title: PANGE LINGUA
Now, my tongue, the mystery telling
Here proclaim the glorious mystery
Author: Alan Gaunt (b. 1935); St Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225-1274) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #458 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: God in mystery Lyrics: 1 Here proclaim the glorious mystery
of the body and the blood;
formed within the womb, made human,
he the earth's transcendent Lord;
offered for the world's redemption,
promise of eternal good.
2 On the night of that last supper,
there reclining with his friends,
met to celebrate Passover,
eating as the law demands:
he, as food for his disciples,
gives himself from his own hands.
3 Word made flesh, by word is making
simple bread his flesh, and we
here discern Christ's blood, though senses
nothing more than wine can see:
faith alone, true hearts sustaining,
can perceive the mystery.
4 Therefore we, with deepest reverence,
celebrate this sacrament;
finding all the ancient scriptures
sealed in his new covenant;
what the senses fail to fathom,
faith receives as nourishment.
5 Praise and worship to the Father,
power and blessing to the Son,
honour to the Holy Spirit,
glory to the Three in One;
let the Church proclaim for ever
what eternal Love has done. Scripture: Matthew 26:17-30 Languages: English Tune Title: GRAFTON (TANTUM ERGO SACRAMENTUM)

My Savior’s love to me,
Love to the loveless shown
That they might lovely be.
O who am I
That for my sake
The Lord should take
Frail flesh, and die?
2 He came from his blest throne
Salvation to bestow,
But all made strange, and none
The longed for Christ would know.
But O my friend,
My friend indeed,
Who at my need
His life did spend!
3 Sometimes they strew his way,
And his sweet praises sing,
Resounding all the day
Hosannas to their King.
Then “Crucify!”
Is all their breath,
And for his death
They thirst and cry.
4 Why, what hath my Lord done?
What makes this rage and spite?
He made the lame to run,
He gave the blind their sight.
Sweet injuries!
Yet they at these
Themselves displease,
And 'gainst him rise.
5 They rise and needs will have
My dear Lord made a way;
A murderer they save,
The Prince of Life they slay.
Yet steadfast he
To suff'ring goes,
That he his foes
From thence might free.
6 In life no house, no home
My Lord on earth might have;
In death no friendly tomb
But what a stranger gave.
What may I say?
Heav'n was his home;
But mine the tomb
Wherein he lay.
7 Here might I stay and sing,
No story so divine!
Never was love, dear King,
Never was grief like thine.
This is my friend,
In whose sweet praise
I all my days
Could gladly spend. Languages: English Tune Title: LOVE UNKNOWN
