Most of my song titles have structural tags as headers in the PDF files provided. The tags for this song are : LEMONIA PERFORCE >> OLD FOLKS AT HOME >> 300 MASTER BOWMEN.
The last tag refers to a poem cycle of the same title which is divided into incidents. This song for SATB choir is the first incident of the cycle. Dates in the PDF can also be and are in most cases structural elements of the song. The song is given in two printable versions, first in decorated pages only the score and then in undecorated pages as score and parts. Although not present in this video, a very short break between each movement is advisable.

SKU: A0.1295658

By St. Michael’s by-the-sea (using both translations). By Words: Venantius Honorius Fortunatus / Music: Trad. French carol. Arranged by Lyndell Leatherman. Christian,Lent,Religious,Sacred. Score. 2 pages. Leatherman Music Services #885956. Published by Leatherman Music Services (A0.1295658).

Welcome to this entry in the Leatherman Library of Hymnody (LLOH).

Features of the series include:

•Intermediate 2-page arrangements suitable as either piano or organ solos.
•Chord symbols included as a service to classical guitarists.
•Lyrics included (and occasionally updated) to facilitate congregational singing or vocal solo.
•Hymn background information included for personal edification or use as printed program notes.
•Optional repeats which allow you to fit into the allotted time available in a service.
•An introduction and/or tag in many cases, often incorporating a classical excerpt or related hymn fragment.

From the early days of Christianity, hymns have been used successfully to reinforce and spread doctrine and faith. Scholars point out a number of hymn fragments in the New Testament. For example, 1 Timothy 3:16:      
   He appeared in a body,        
   Was vindicated by the Spirit,            
   Was seen by angels,    
   Was preached among the nations,        
   Was believed on in the world,            
   Was taken up into glory.
The metrical patterns made memorization of creeds easier, especially when associated with a melody.

Sing, My Tongue, the Glorious Battle is a great example of an early hymn written to codify Christology (the theology of Jesus Christ), covering his birth to his death, and then ending–as many hymns did–with a doxological stanza. If I were still planning worship services, I would be intrigued by the idea of making this hymn the outline of a Lenten service...perhaps interspersing scripture or other narration between stanzas, alternating between choir and congregation, and varying the accompanying instrumental textures.
