O for a thousand tongues to sing
Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,734 hymnals Scripture: John 5:25 Lyrics: 1 O for a thousand tongues, to sing
my great Redeemer's praise,
the glories of my God and King,
the triumphs of his grace!
2 Jesus! the name that charms our fears,
and bids our sorrows cease;
'tis music in the sinner's ears,
'tis life, and health, and peace.
3 He breaks the power of cancelled sin,
he sets the prisoner free;
his blood can make the foulest clean,
his blood availed for me.
4 He speaks, and listening to his voice,
new life the dead receive,
the mournful, broken hearts rejoice,
the humble poor believe.
5 Hear him, ye deaf; his praise, ye dumb,
your loosened tongues employ;
ye blind, behold your Saviour come;
and leap, ye lame, for joy!
6 My gracious Master and my God,
assist me to proclaim,
to spread through all the earth abroad
the honours of thy name. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Public Ministry Used With Tune: RICHMOND

Lord of the Dance
Author: Sydney Bertram Carter (1915-2004) Meter: Irregular with refrain Appears in 52 hymnals Scripture: John 5:1-18 First Line: I danced in the morning when the world was begun Refrain First Line: Dance, then, wherever you may be Lyrics: 1 I danced in the morning
when the world was begun,
and I danced in the moon
and the stars, and the sun,
and I came down from heaven
and I danced on the earth--
at Bethlehem I had my birth.
Refrain:
Dance, then, wherever you may be:
I am the Lord of the Dance, said he,
and I’ll lead you all, wherever you may be,
and I’ll lead you all in the Dance, said he.
2 I danced for the scribe
and the Pharisee,
but they would not dance
and they would not follow me.
I danced for the fishermen,
for James and John --
they came with me
and the Dance went on. [Refrain]
3 I danced on the Sabbath
when I cured the lame,
the holy people
said it was a shame.
They whipped and they stripped
and they hung me high,
and they left me there
on a Cross to die. [Refrain]
4 I danced on a Friday
and the sky turned black --
it’s hard to dance
with the devil on your back.
They buried my body
and they thought I’d gone --
but I am the Dance
and I still go on. [Refrain]
5 They cut me down
and I leapt up high --
I am the life
that’ll never, never die.
I’ll live in you
if you’ll live in me,
I am the Lord
of the Dance, said he. [Refrain] Topics: Christ Incarnate Passion and Death; Christ Incarnate Public Ministry; Dance; Jesus Life and Ministry Used With Tune: LORD OF THE DANCE

Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 37 hymnals Scripture: John 5:13 Lyrics: 1 O Christ, the healer, we have come
to pray for health, to plead for friends.
How can we fail to be restored
when reached by love that never ends?
2 From every ailment flesh endures
our bodies clamor to be freed;
yet in our hearts we would confess
that wholeness is our deepest need.
3 In conflicts that destroy our health
we recognize the world's disease;
our common life declares our ills.
Is there no cure, O Christ, for these?
4 Grant that we all, made one in faith,
in your community may find
the wholeness that, enriching us,
shall reach the whole of humankind.

In the brightest realms of glory,
Where there shines one lasting day”;

You have trifled time away”—

All hail, Redeemer, hail! for thou hast died for me;
thy praise shall never, never fail throughout eternity.

As stars adorn the night-veiled sky
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. (b. 1944) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: John 5:35 Lyrics: 1 As stars adorn the night-veiled sky,
arrayed like jewels rare and bright,
so shine God's saints in every age
to give the world new hop, new light.
2 The light saints bear is not their own
but shines through them as gift and sign:
to show how God can use and bless
frail human means for ends divine.
Through saints we glimpse the light of Christ,
the Morning Star that crowns the night,
whose rising heralds God's new day,
the promised dawn of life and light.
4 That light is ours to claim and share,
not merely praise or gaze upon:
for all who are baptized become
light-bearers through the Risen One.
5 The saints inspire and challenge us
our holy calling to embrace:
to bear Christ's light in our own day,

O God, Our Creator, You Work Every Day
Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: John 5:17 Lyrics: O God, our Creator, you work every day:
A potter, you form us, your people, like clay.
A shepherd, you guide us and seek out the lost.
A parent, you love us, not counting the cost.
Christ Jesus, how rough were your hard-working hands!
You labored among us; our God understands!
Bless workers who struggle, their families to feed;
Bless those who face hardship, oppression, or greed.
Lord, some live among us who need constant care,
Whose work is to make us more humbly aware.
They teach us the best of your lessons, by far:
It’s not what we do, Lord, you love who we are!
We’re baptized! Your Spirit gives new work to do,
That we, through our serving, may glorify you.
Each person’s vocation, each calling, has worth
As you send us out to bring Christ’s love on earth.

In this dark vale of tears;

Of life, shall guide our way,
Till we behold the clearer light
Of an eternal day. Topics: The Scriptures, Legal, Prophetic, and Evangelical, collectively testify of the Savior Text Sources: Rippon's Coll.

And must this body die?
Author: Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 376 hymnals Scripture: John 5:28-29 Lyrics: 1 And must this body die?
This mortal frame decay?
And must these active limbs of mine
Lie moldering in the clay?
2 God my Redeemer lives,
And often from the skies
Looks down and watches all my dust,
Till he shall bid it rise.
3 Arrayed in glorious grace
Shall these vile bodies shine;
And every shape and every face
Look heavenly and divine.
4 These lively hopes we owe
To Jesus' dying love;
We would adore his grace below,
And sing his power above.
5 Dear Lord! accept the praise
Of these our humble songs,
Till tunes of nobler sound we raise
With our immortal tongues. Topics: Life and Death; My Redeemer Liveth
