Author: John Mason Hymnal: Church Book #103 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O that I had an angel's tongue.
That I might loudly sing
The wonders of redeeming Love,
To Thee, my God and King!
2 Let the redeeméd of the Lord
Their thankful voices raise:
Can we be dumb whilst angels sing
Our great Redeemer's praise?
3 O sing aloud in boundless grace,
Which thus hath set thee free:
Extol with songs, my savéd soul,
The Saviour's Love to thee.
4 Give endless thanks to God, and say,
What Love was this in Thee,
That Thou hast not withheld Thy Son,
Thine only Son, from me!
5 Thy deep and glorious counsels, Lord,
With trembling I adore:
Blessed, thrice blessed be my God,
Blessed for evermore. Topics: Sin and Redemption; Epiphany, Fifth Sunday; Septuagesima Sunday; Quinquagesima Sunday; Lent, Second Sunday; Third Sunday after Trinity; Twelfth Sunday after Trinity Languages: English Tune Title: ST. GEORGE'S
