Oh, for a Thousand Tongues to Sing
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,733 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.

Oh, for a Thousand Tongues to Sing
Luke 4:18,19: Hark, the glad sound, the Saviour comes!
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 820 hymnals Scripture: Luke 4:18-19 First Line: Hark, the glad sound, the Saviour comes! 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.
Luke 4:18,19: Hark, the glad sound, the Saviour comes!
Lord, Who Throughout These Forty Days
Author: Claudia Frances Hernaman Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 86 hymnals Scripture: Luke 4:1-13 Lyrics: 1 Lord, who throughout these forty days
For us didst fast and pray,
Teach us with Thee to mourn our sins,
And close by Thee to stay.
2 As Thou with Satan didst contend,
And didst the victory win,
O give us strength in Thee to fight,
In Thee to conquer sin.
3 And through these days of penitence,
And through Thy Passiontide,
Yea, evermore, in life and death,
O Lord, with us abide.
4 Abide with us, that so, this life
Of suffering over-past,
An Easter of unending joy
We may attain at last!

Lord, Who Throughout These Forty Days
Forty Days and Forty Nights
Author: George Hunt Smyttan Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 157 hymnals Scripture: Luke 4:1-2 Lyrics: 1 Forty days and forty nights
You were fasting in the wild;
Forty days and forty nights
Tempted, and yet undefiled.
2 Shall not we Your sorrow share
And from worldly joys abstain,
Fasting with unceasing prayer,
Strong with You to suffer pain?
3 Then if Satan on us press,
Flesh or spirit to assail,
Victor in the wilderness,
Grant we may not faint nor fail!
4 So shall we have peace divine:
Holier gladness ours shall be;
Round us, too, shall angels shine,
Such as served You faithfully.
5 Keep, O keep us, Savior dear,
Ever constant by Your side;
That with You we may appear
At the eternal Eastertide.

Hail to the Lord's Anointed
Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 843 hymnals Scripture: Luke 4:18 Lyrics: 1 Hail to the Lord's Anointed,
Great David's greater Son!
Hail in the time appointed,
His reign on earth begun!
He comes to break oppression,
To set the captive free;
To take away transgression,
And rule in equity.
2 He comes with succor speedy
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 He shall come down like showers
Upon the fruitful earth,
Love, joy, and 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 forever;
That Name to us is Love. Topics: Advent First; Jesus Christ His Ascension and Reign; Jesus Christ His Glory and Power; Jesus Christ His Life and Ministry; Jesus Christ His Name; New Birth Used With Tune: SHEFFIELD
Hail to the Lord's Anointed
O Love, How Deep, How Broad, How High
Author: Thomas à Kempis (1380-1471); Benjamin Webb; J. M. Neale Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 139 hymnals Scripture: Luke 4:1-13 Lyrics: 1 O love, how deep, how broad, how high,
how passing thought and fantasy,
that God, the Son of God, should take
our mortal form for mortals' sake!
2 For us baptized, for us he bore
his holy fast and hungered sore;
for us temptation sharp he knew,
for us the tempter overthrew.
3 For us he prayed; for us he taught;
for us his daily works he wrought:
by words and signs and actions thus
still seeking not himself, but us.
4 For us to evil pow'r betrayed,
scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed,
he bore the shameful cross and death,
for us gave up his dying breath.
5 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 comfort, and to cheer.
6 All glory to our Lord and God
for love so deep, so high, so broad --
the Trinity, whom we adore
forever and forevermore.

The Glory of These Forty Days
Author: Maurice F. Bell, 1862-1947 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 35 hymnals Scripture: Luke 4:1-13 Lyrics: 1 The glory of these forty days
We celebrate with songs of praise;
For Christ, by Whom all things were made,
Himself has fasted and has prayed.
2 Alone and fasting Moses saw
The loving God Who gave the law;
And to Elijah, fasting, came
The steeds and chariots of flame.
3 So Daniel trained his mystic sight,
Delivered from the lions’ might;
And John, the Bridegroom’s friend, became
The herald of Messiah’s Name.
4 Then grant , O God, that we may, too
Return in fast and prayer to you.
Our spirits strengthen with Your grace,
And give us joy to see Your face.
