Oh, for a Thousand Tongues to Sing

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,747 hymnals Scripture: Luke 4:18-19 Lyrics: 1 Oh, 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 honors of your name. 3 The name of Jesus charms our fears and bids our sorrows cease; 'tis music in the sinner's ears, 'tis life and health and peace. 4 He breaks the power of canceled sin, he sets the prisoner free; his blood can make the foulest clean; his blood avails for me. 5 He speaks, and, listening to his voice, new life the dead receive; the mournful, broken hearts rejoice; the humble poor believe. 6 Hear him, you deaf; you voiceless ones, your loosened tongues employ; you blind, behold your Savior come; and leap, you lame, for joy! 7 To God all glory, praise, and love be now and ever given by saints below and saints above, the church in earth and heaven.

Lyrics: Hark, the glad sound, the Saviour comes! the Saviour promised long; Let ev’ry heart exult with joy, and ev’ry voice be song! On him the Spirit, largely shed, exerts its sacred fire; Wisdom and might, and zeal and love, his holy breast inspire. He comes! the pris’ners to relieve, in Satan’s bondage held; The gates of brass before him burst, the iron fetters yield. He comes! from dark’ning scales of vice to clear the inward sight; And on the eye-balls of the blind to pour celestial light. 139 He comes! the broken hearts to bind, the bleeding souls to cure; And with the treasures of his grace t’ enrich the humble poor. The sacred year has now revolved, accepted of the Lord, When Heav’n’s high promise is fulfilled, and Isr’el is restored. Our glad hosannahs, Prince of Peace! thy welcome shall proclaim; And heav’n’s exalted arches ring with thy most honoured name.

Hear how the voice from heaven is saying, 'Lo, this is my belovèd Son.' See how in dovelike form the Spirit descends on God's Anointed One. 2 From this assurance of God's favour Christ goes into the wilderness, there to endure a time of testing, preparing him to teach and bless. So we, by water and the Spirit baptized into Christ's ministry, are often led to paths of service through mazes of adversity. 3 Grant us, O God, the strength and courage to live the faith our lips declare; bless us in our baptismal calling; Christ's royal priesthood help us share. Turn us from every false allegiance, that we may trust in Christ alone: make of us now a chosen people transformed by love to be your own.

Veiled in flesh the Godhead see! Hail th'incarnate Deity! Pleased as man with us to dwell: Jesus, our Emmanuel! [Refrain] 3 Hail the heav'n born Prince of Peace! Hail the Sun of Righteousness! Light and life to all he brings, Ris'n with healing in his wings. Mild he lays his glory by, Born that we no more may die, Born to raise us from the earth, Born to give us second birth. [Refrain] Topics: The Liturgical Year Christmas (Days of); The Liturgical Year Mary, the Holy Mother of God Used With Tune: MENDELSSOHN
