O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,768 hymnals Topics: Lent 4 Year A Lyrics: 1 O for a thousand tongues to sing
my great Redeemer's praise,
the glories of my God and king,
the triumphs of God's grace.
2 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.
3 He speaks, and listening to his voice,
new life the dead receive,
the mournful broken hearts rejoice,
the humble poor believe.
4 Hear him, you deaf, you voiceless ones,
your tongues again employ;
you blind, behold your Saviour comes,
and leap, you lame, for joy!
5 My gracious Master and my God,
assist me to proclaim,
to spread through all the earth abroad
the honours of your name. Used With Tune: AZMON

faith in Christ who died to save,
Christ who triumphed o'er the grave,
Jesus Christ, the crucified. Used With Tune: HENDON

and blessed peace to cheer us,

par son unique amour.

et nous fait retrouver
le chemin de l'amour
et de la liberté. Used With Tune: NUN DANKET

is laid for your faith in his excellent word!
What more can be said than to you has been said,
to you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?

For I am your God and will still give you aid;
I'll strengthen and help you, and cause you to stand,
upheld by my righteous omnipotent hand.
3 "When through the deep waters I call you to go,
the rivers of sorrow shall not overflow;
for I will be with you, your troubles to bless,
and sanctify to you your deepest distress.
4 "When through fiery trials your pathway shall lie,
my grace, all-sufficient, shall be your supply:
the flame shall not hurt you, I only design
your dross to consume, and your gold to refine.
5 "The soul that on Jesus has leaned for repose
I will not -- I will not desert to his foes;
that soul, though all hell should endeavour to shake,
I'll never -- no, never -- no, never forsake!" Used With Tune: ST DENIO Text Sources: Rippon's A Selection of Hymns, 1787

Lord of Glory, You Have Bought Us
Author: Eliza S. Alderson, 1818-1889 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 65 hymnals Topics: Lent 4 (Year A) Lyrics: 1 Lord of glory, you have bought us
With your life-blood as the price,
Never grudging for the lost ones
That tremendous sacrifice;
And with that have freely given
Blessings countless as the sand
To the unthankful and the evil
With your own unsparing hand.
2 Grant us hearts, dear Lord, to give you
Gladly, freely, of your own.
With the sunshine of your goodness
Melt our thankless hearts of stone
Till our cold and selfish natures,
Warmed by you, at length believe
That more happy and more blessed
'Tis to give than to receive.
3 Wondrous honor you have given
To our humblest charity
In your own mysterious sentence,
"You have done it all to me."
Can it be, O gracious Master,
That you deign for alms to sue,
Saying by your poor and needy,
"Give as I have giv'n to you"?
4 Yes, the sorrow and the suff'rings
Which on ev'ry hand we view
Channels are for gifts and off'rings
Due by solemn right to you;
Right of which we may not rob you,
Debt we may not choose but pay,
Lest that face of love and pity
Turn from us another day.
4 Lord of glory, you have bought us
With Your life-blood as the price,
Never grudging for the lost ones
That tremendous sacrifice.
Give us faith to trust you boldly,
Hope, to stay our souls on you:
But, oh, best of all your graces,
With your love our love renew. Used With Tune: HYFRYDOL

Hail to God's Own Anointed
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 853 hymnals Topics: Lent 4 Year A Lyrics: 1 Hail to God's own anointed,
great David's greater Son!
Hail, in the time appointed,
God's reign on earth begun!
Christ comes to break oppression,
to set the captive free;
to take away transgression,
and rule in equity.
2 Christ comes with justice surely
to those who suffer wrong,
to help the poor and needy,
and bid the weak be strong,
to give them songs for sighing,
their darkness turn to light,
whose souls, condemned and dying,
are precious in his sight.
3 Christ shall come down like showers
upon the fruitful earth,
and love, joy, hope, like flowers,
spring in his path to birth.
Before him on the mountains
shall peace, the herald, go,
and righteousness in fountains
from hill to valley flow.
4 To him shall prayer unceasing
and daily vows ascend,
his kingdom still increasing,
a kingdom without end.
The tide of time shall never
his covenant remove.
His name shall stand for ever:
that name to us is Love.
Used With Tune: CRÜGER

break with thine iron rod
the tyrannies of sin,
2 Where is your reign of peace
and purity and love?
When shall all hatred cease,
as in the realms above?
3 When comes the promised time,
the end of strife and war;
when lust, oppression, crime
and greed shall be no more?
4 O Lord our God, arise
and come in your great might!
revive our longing eyes
which languish for your sight.
5 As rebels scorn your name
and wolves devour your fold,
by many deeds of shame
we learn that love grows cold.
6 On nations near or far
thick darkness gathers yet:
arise, O Morning Star,
arise and never set! Used With Tune: ST. CECILIA
Your kingdom come, O God!

Pilgrim through this barren land.
I am weak but Thou art mighty;
Hold me with Thy pow'rful hand.
Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven
Feed me till I want no more,
Feed me till I want no more.
2 Open now the crystal fountain
Whence the healing stream doth flow;
Let the fire and cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through.
Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer,
Be Thou still my Strength and Shield,
Be Thou still my Strength and Shield.
3 When I tread the verge of Jordan,
Bid my anxious fears subside;
Death of death, and hell's destruction,
Land me safe on Canaan's side.
Songs of praises, songs of praises,
I will ever give to Thee,
I will ever give to Thee.
Scripture: Psalm 42 Used With Tune: CWM RHONDDA
