O For The Tongue Of An Angel

Author: Fanny Crosby Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O for the tongue of an angel, To sing my Redeemer’s praise; Surely His tender compassion Has followed me all my days. Out of my bondage He brought me, Astonished His love I trace; Once I was led by the tempter, But now I’m a child of grace. O for the tongue of an angel, To sing my Redeemer’s praise; Surely His tender compassion Has followed me all my days. 2 O for a voice like a trumpet, So loud that the world might hear; Gladly I’d publish redemption, Through Jesus my friend so dear. Over the regions of darkness, I’d sing of His love so free; Ever repeating the story Of what He has done for me. O for a voice like a trumpet, So loud that the world might hear; Gladly I’d publish redemption, Through Jesus my friend so dear. 3 Lost in the depths of His mercy, And filled with His infinite love! Upward my spirit is rising, Away to its home above. Glory to Jesus, all glory, That when His dear face I see; I’ll thank and adore Him forever, For what He has done for me. Lost in the depths of His mercy, And filled with His infinite love! Upward my spirit is rising, Away to its home above. Used With Tune: BELSIZE

Refrain: In my Father’s blessèd keeping I am happy, safe and free; While His eye is on the sparrow, I will not forgotten be. 2 Tho’ I’m least of all His children, So unworthy of His love, Yet, for me, there’s kind remembrance In the Father-heart above; He will ever save and keep me, He will guide me on the way, For my Savior gently whispers, Are ye not much more than they? [Refrain] 3 Oh, the wounded hands of Jesus All the springs of life control, Is there any ill can harm me While His blood is on my soul?

Work for God will never perish, Work for souls should never end, Prayer for sinners God will cherish, And a happy answer send.
