We Sing the Praise of Him Who Died

Author: Thomas Kelly (1769-1855) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 194 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 2:6-15 Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of him who died, of him who died upon the cross; the sinner's hope let sin 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 every 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 heaven above.

Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle

Author: Venantius Fortunatus, 530-609; John Mason Neale, 1818-66 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 62 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 2:9-15 Lyrics: 1 Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle; of the mighty conflict sing: tell the triumph of the victim, to his cross your tribute bring. Jesus Christ, the world's Redeemer, from that cross now reigns as King. 2 When at length the appointed fullness of the sacred time was come, he was sent, the world's Creator, from the Father's heavenly home and was found in human fashion offspring of the Virgin's womb. 3 When the thirty years were ended which on earth he willed to see, willingly he meets his passion, born to set his people free; on the cross the Lamb is lifted, there the sacrifice to be. 4 There the nails and spear he suffers, vinegar and gall and reed; from his sacred body pierced blood and water both proceed: precious flood, which all creation from the stain of sin has freed. 5 Faithful cross, above all other, one and only noble tree, none in foliage, none in blossom, none in fruit your peer may be; sweet the wood and sweet the iron, and your load, most sweet is he. 6 Praise and honour to the Father, praise and honour to the Son, praise and honour to the Spirit, ever Three and ever One: One in might and One in glory while eternal ages run.
