O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,768 hymnals Topics: Christian Year Holy Name Day 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

as I hear, far and near,
sweetest angel voices;
"Christ is born," their choirs are singing
till the air, ev'rywhere
now with joy is ringing.
2 Hark, a voice from yonder manger,
soft and sweet, does entreat,
"Flee from woe and danger; come and see;
from all that grieves you you are freed;
all you need I will surely give you."
3 Come then, let us hasten yonder;
Here let all, great and small,
kneel in awe and wonder;
love him who with love is yearning;
hail the star that from far
bright with hope is burning.

the rivers of sorrow shall not overflow;
for I will be with you in trouble to bless,

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.

I will not, I will not desert to its foes;
that soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I'll never, no, never, no never forsake!" Scripture: Isaiah 28:16 Used With Tune: FOUNDATION Text Sources: J. Rippon's Selection of Hymns (1787), alt.

Psalm 102
Author: Christopher Martin Idle (b. 1938) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Christian Year Ash Wednesday First Line: Lord, hear my prayer! My cry shall come before you Lyrics: 1 Lord, hear my prayer! My cry shall come before you;
hide not your face when I am in distress.
My life burns up; my days have lost their glory,
drifting like smoke, in pain and helplessness.
2 Like some wild owl among deserted ruins,
lonely I call while enemies curse on.
Tears are my drink; God's wrath is my undoing;
ashes my food till all my days are gone.
3 But you, O Lord, remain enthroned for ever;
you will arise; in you shall kingdoms trust.
Now is the time; your city pleads your favour,
your servants love her stones, her very dust.
4 God will rebuild! Write this to sing tomorrow;
lips yet unformed their Hallelujahs cry!
Glory will dawn upon our world of sorrow,
freeing from prison those condemned to die.
5 Then shall your name on Zion's hill be spoken;
strangers shall fill Jerusalem with praise.
But as for me, my strength is bruised and broken;
spare me, O God; do not cut short my days!
6 Heaven and earth you formed in the beginning;
these soon wear out - Lord, you remain the same!
They shall be changed; your years endure unending;
our children's children live to praise your name. Scripture: Psalm 102 Used With Tune: INTERCESSOR Text Sources: Praise Trust version
