We Sing the Praise of Him Who Died

Author: Thomas Kelly, 1769-1854 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #344 (1978) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Holy Cross Day Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of him who died, Of him who died upon the cross. The sinner's hope let all deride; For this we count the world but loss. 2 Inscribed upon the cross we see, In shining letters, "God is love." He bears our sins upon the tree; He brings us mercy from above. 3 The cross! It takes our guilt away; It holds the fainting spirit up; It cheers with hope the gloomy day And sweetens ev'ry bitter cup. 4 It makes the coward spirit brave, And nerves the feeble arm for fight; It takes its terror from the grave And gilds the bed of death with light; 5 The balm of life, the cure of woe, The measure and the pledge of love, The sinner's refuge here below, The angels' theme in heav'n above.

Now above the cross, the trophy, Sound the loud triumphant lay: Tell how Christ, the world's redeemer, As a victim won the day. 2 Tell how, when at length the fullness Of the appointed time was come, He, the Word, was born of woman, Left for us His Father's home, Blazed the path of true obedience, Shone as light amidst the gloom. 3 Thus, with thirty years accomplished, He went forth from Nazareth, Destined, dedicated, willing, Did His work, and met His death; Like a lamb He humbly yielded On the cross His dying breath. 4 Faithful cross, true sign of triumph, Be for all the noblest tree; None in foliage, none in blossom, None in fruit your equal be; Symbol of the world's redemption, For the weight that hung on thee! 5 Unto God be praise and glory: To the Father and the Son, To the eternal Spirit honor Now and evermore be done; Praise and glory in the highest While the timeless ages run.

As royal banners are unfurled

Author: Alan Gaunt (b. 1935); Venantius Fortunatus (530-609) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #176 (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Other Saints and Festivals Holy Cross Day Lyrics: 1 As royal banners are unfurled, the cross displays its mystery: the Maker of our flesh, in flesh, impaled and hanging helplessly. 2 Already deeply wounded: see his side now riven by a spear, and all our sins are swept away by blood and water flowing here. 3 See everything the prophets wrote fulfilled in its totality, and tell the nations of the world our God is reigning from the tree. 4 This tree, ablaze with royal light and with the blood-red robe it wears, is hallowed and embellished by the weight of holiness it bears. 5 Stretched like a balance here, his arms have gauged the price of wickedness; but, hanging here, his love outweighs hell's unforgiving bitterness. 6 The Saviour, victim, sacrifice, is, through his dying, glorified; his life is overcome by death and leaps up, sweeping death aside. 7 We hail the cross, faith's one true hope: God's passion set in time and space, by which our guilt is blotted out, engulfed in such stupendous grace.

The Royal Banners Forward Go

Author: Venantius Honorius Fortunatus, c. 530-609; John Mason Neale, 1818-66 Hymnal: Lutheran Service Book #455 (2006) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Holy Cross Day Lyrics: 1 The royal banners forward go; The cross shows forth redemption's flow, Where He, by whom our flesh was made, Our ransom in His flesh has 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 flowed the water and the blood. 3 Fulfilled is all that David told In sure prophetic song of old. That God the nations' king should be And reign in triumph from the tree. 4 On whose hard 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. 5 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. 6 To Thee, eternal Three in One, Let homage meet by all be done; As by the cross Thou dost restore, So guide and keep us evermore.
