O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,776 hymnals Topics: Lent 5 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.

By foes derided, by your own rejected, O most afflicted. 2 Who was the guilty? Who brought this upon you? Alas, my treason, Jesus, has undone you; yes, I, Lord Jesus, I it was denied you; I crucified you. 3 Lo, the good shepherd for the sheep is offered; the slave is guilty, yet the Son has suffered; for our atonement, we nothing heeded, God interceded. 4 For me, kind Jesus, was your incarnation, your mortal sorrow, and your life's oblation, your death of anguish and your bitter passion, for my salvation. 5 Therefore, kind Jesus, since I cannot pay you, I do adore you, and will ever pray you, think on your pity and your love unswerving, not my deserving.

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

Author: Martin Luther; Frederick H. Hedge Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 690 hymnals Topics: Lent 5 Year B Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing; our helper sure amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing: for still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe; power and malice great, and armed with cruel hate, on earth he has no equal. 2 Did we in our strength confide, our striving would be losing, were not the right man on our side, the man of God's own choosing: dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is he; Lord Sabaoth his name, from age to age the same, and he must win the battle. 3 And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us, we will not fear, for God hath willed the truth to triumph through us: the prince of darkness grim, we tremble not for him; his rage we can endure, for lo! his doom is sure, one little word shall fell him. 4 That word above all earthly powers, no thanks to them, abideth; the Spirit and the gifts are ours through Christ, who with us sideth: let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also; the body they may kill: God's truth abideth still, God's kingdom is forever.

O Love, How Deep

Author: Benjamin Webb Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 143 hymnals Topics: Lent 5 Year B First Line: O Love, how deep, how broad, how high! Lyrics: 1 O Love, how deep, how broad, how high! It fills the heart with ecstasy, that God, in Jesus Christ, should take our mortal form for mortals' sake. 2 God sent no angel to our race of higher or of lower place, but wore the robe of human frame, and freely to this lost world came. 3 For us he was baptized, and bore a holy fast, and hungered sore; for us temptations sharply knew; for us the tempter overthrew. 4 For us he prayed; for us he taught; for us great daily works were wrought, by words, and signs, and actions, thus still seeking not himself, but us. 5 For us to wicked foes betrayed, scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed, he bore the shameful cross and death; for us at length gave up his breath. 6 For us he rose from death again, for us he went on high to reign, for us he sent his Spirit here to guide, to strengthen, and to cheer. 7 To God whose boundless love has won salvation for us through the Son, to God all praise and glory be both now and through eternity.

And, Jesus, I have promised to serve you to the end: O give me grace to follow, my Saviour and my friend. Used With Tune: DAY OF REST
