O for a thousand tongues to sing

Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #1 (1917) Topics: Prisoners, set free 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. My gracious Master and my God, Assist me to proclaim, To spread through all the earth abroad The honours of Thy Name. 3. Jesus! the Name that charms our fears, That bids our sorrows cease; 'Tis music in the sinner's ears, 'Tis life, and health, and peace. 4. He breaks the power of cancelled sin, He sets the prisoner free; His blood can make the foulest clean, His blood availed for me. 5. See all your sins on Jesus laid: The Lamb of God was slain, His soul was once an offering made For every soul of man. Languages: English Tune Title: WINCHESTER OLD

Leftover People in Leftover Places

Author: Shirley Erena Murray, 1931- Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #275 (2013) Meter: 11.10.11.10 D Topics: Prisoners Lyrics: 1 Leftover people in leftover places, troubled, disabled, the needy and sad, scavenging crumbs from society's plenty, sick to the soul when their life has gone bad; these are the ones in God's upside-down kingdom deemed to be worthy and called to the feast, soup-kitchen people invited to banquet, valued as greatly as royal and priest. 2 Leftover people, disposable people, locked into prisons of drugs and despair, poverty's children in poverty's spiral, locked out of learning and earning their share; these are the ones in God's upside-down kingdom, these are the Christ in their shabby disguise, these are the least and the highly unlikely, given a hope and new light in their eyes. 3 Here is God's testing of true Easter people, spirited people with service to give, taking to heart the compassion of Jesus, feeling how others must struggle to live; we are a part of God's upside-down kingdom, we know the heart if the gospel's demand, taking our part with the leftover people, widening the space of the lines in the sand.

Thou hidden Source of calm repose

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #83 (1917) Topics: Prisoners, set free Lyrics: 1 Thou hidden Source of calm repose, Thou all-sufficient Love Divine, My help and refuge from my foes, Secure I am, if Thou art mine; And lo! from sin, and grief, and shame, I hide me, Jesus, in Thy name. 2 Thy mighty name salvation is, And keeps my happy soul above; Comfort it brings, and power, and peace, And joy, and everlasting love; To me, with Thy dear name, are given Pardon, and holiness, and heaven. 3 Jesus, my all in all Thou art; My rest in toil, my ease in pain, The medicine of my broken heart; In war my peace, in loss my gain, My smile beneath the tyrant's frown, In shame my glory and my crown: 4 In want my plentiful supply, In weakness my almighty power; In bonds my perfect liberty, My light in Satan's darkest hour; My joy in grief, my shield in strife, In death my everlasting life.

Through All the World a Hungry Christ

Author: Shirley Erena Murray, 1931- Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #213 (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Prisoners Lyrics: 1 Through all the world a hungry Christ must scavenge far for daily bread, must beg the rich for crumb and crust. We are the rich, the daily fed. 2 Beyond the church a leper Christ takes each untouchable by hand, gives hope to those who have no trust, whose stigma is our social brand. 3 In torture cell, a pris'ner Christ for justice and for truth must cry to free the innocent oppressed while we at liberty pass by. 4 We do not know you, beggar Christ, we do not recognize your sores, we do not see, for we are blind: forgive us, touch us, make us yours.
