1
Sing my tongue the glorious battle
Sing the ending of the fray
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 th’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 th’eternal Spirit honor
Now and evermore be done
Praise and glory in the highest
While the timeless ages run
