Lyra MessianicaA

O Christ the Vine with living FruitB
The twelvefold fruited Tree of LifeC
The Balm in Gilead after strifeC
The valley Lily and the RoseD
Stronger than Lebanon Thou RootB
Sweeter than clustered grapes Thou VineE
O Best Thou Vineyard of red wineE
Keeping thy best wine till the closeF
-
Pearl of great price Thyself aloneG
And ruddier than the ruby ThouH
Most precious lightning Jasper stoneG
Head of the corner spurned beforeI
Fair Gate of pearl Thyself the DoorI
Clear golden Street Thyself the WayJ
By Thee we journey toward Thee nowH
Through Thee shall enter Heaven one dayJ
-
I thirst for Thee full fount and floodK
My heart calls Thine as deep to deepL
Dost Thou forget Thy sweat and painM
They provocation on the CrossN
Heart pierced for me vouchsafe to keepL
The purchase of Thy lavished BloodK
The gain is Thine Lord if I gainM
Or if I lose Thine own the lossN
-
At midnight saith the ParableO
A cry was made the Bridegroom cameP
Those who were ready entered inQ
The rest shut out in death and shameP
Strove all too late that Feast to winQ
Their die was cast and fixed their lotR
A gulf divided Heaven from HellS
The Bridegroom said I know you notR
-
But Who is this that shuts the doorI
And saith I know you not to themT
I see the wounded hands and sideU
The brow thorn tortured long agoA
Yea This Who grieved and bled and diedU
This same is He Who must condemnT
He called but they refused to knowA
So now He hears their cry no moreI
