Lent 2024: Sing My Soul

Shared by the Laningas for our Spanish-speaking church friends

1. Sing my soul the glorious battle; Tell the triumph

     far and wide; Tell aloud the wondrous story

     Of the cross, the Crucified: Tell how Christ, the

     world’s redeemer, Vanquished death the day died.

2. Tell how, when at length the fullness of the holy 

     time had come, Christ was sent, the world’s Creator,

     from the Fathers’s heavenly home. And was found

     among us dwelling, Offspring of the Virgin’s womb.

3.  Nailed upon the cross, Christ suffered Crowns of thorns, and

     spear, and reed. From his pierced and broken body

     blood and water both proceed: By that flood of

     grace, creation from the stain of sin is freed.

4.  Faithful Cross, true sign of triumph. Be for all the 

     noblest tree; None in foliage, none in blossom,

     none in fruit your peer may be;  Symbol of the 

     world’s redemption. For your battle makes us free.
