O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,808 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 1:13-14 Lyrics: 1 O for a thousand tongues to sing
Our dear Redeemer's praise,
The glories of our God and King,
The triumphs of his grace!
2 Jesus, the name that charms our fears,
That bids our sorrows cease—
Its music in the sinner's ears
Brings life, and health, and peace.
3 Our gracious Master and our God,
Assist us to proclaim,
To spread through all the earth abroad,
The honors of your name.
4 Glory to God and praise and love
Be now and ever given
By saints below and saints above,
The church in earth and heaven.

God of Grace and God of Glory
Author: Harry Emerson Fosdick Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 163 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 1:9-12 Lyrics: 1 God of grace and God of glory,
on thy people pour thy power;
crown thine ancient church's story;
bring its bud to glorious flower.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
for the facing of this hour,
for the facing of this hour.
2 Lo! the hosts of evil round us
scorn thy Christ, assail his ways!
From the fears that long have bound us
free our hearts to faith and praise.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
for the living of these days,
for the living of these days.
3 Cure thy children's warring madness;
bend our pride to thy control;
shame our wanton, selfish gladness,
rich in things and poor in soul.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
lest we miss thy kingdom's goal,
lest we miss thy kingdom's goal.
4 Save us from weak resignation
to the evils we deplore.
Let the gift of thy salvation
be our glory evermore.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
serving thee whom we adore,
serving thee whom we adore.

Alas! And Did My Savior Bleed
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2,431 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 1:11-23 Lyrics: 1 Alas! And did my Savior bleed,
and did my Sovereign die!
Would he devote that sacred head
for sinners such as I!
2 Was it for sins that I have done
he suffered on the tree?
Amazing pity! Grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!
3 Well might the sun in darkness hide
and shut its glories in,
when Christ, the great Redeemer, died
for human creatures' sin.
4 But drops of grief can ne'er repay
the debt of love I owe;
here, Lord, I give myself away;
'tis all that I can do. Topics: Atonement; Christian Year Palm Sunday; Christian Year Maundy Thursday; Christian Year Good Friday; Commitment; Grace; Jesus Christ Passion and Death Used With Tune: MARTYRDOM

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2,080 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 1:13-23 Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.
2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast
Save in the death of Christ, my Lord;
The vain things that now tempt me most,
I sacrifice them to his blood.
3 See, from his head, his hands, his feet,
the pain and love flow mingled down;
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
4 Were ev'ry realm of nature mine,
My gift would still be far too small:
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.

When morning gilds the skies
Author: Edward Caswall, 1814-1878 Meter: 6.6.6 D Appears in 724 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 1:13 Lyrics: 1 When morning gilds the skies,
my heart awaking cries,
may Jesus Christ be praised:
alike at work and prayer
to Jesus I repair;
may Jesus Christ be praised.
*2 Whene'er the sweet church bell
peals over hill and dell,
may Jesus Christ be praised:
O hark to what it sings,
as joyously it rings,
may Jesus Christ be praised.
3 My tongue shall never tire
of chanting with the choir,
may Jesus Christ be praised:
this song of sacred joy,
it never seems to cloy,
may Jesus Christ be praised.
4 Does sadness fill my mind?
A solace here I find,
may Jesus Christ be praised:
or fades my earthly bliss?
My comfort still is this,
may Jesus Christ be praised.
5 The night becomes as day,
when from the heart we say,
may Jesus Christ be praised:
the powers of darkness fear,
when this sweet chant they hear,
may Jesus Christ be praised.
6 Be this, while life is mine,
my canticle divine,
may Jesus Christ be praised:
be this the eternal song
through ages all along,
may Jesus Christ be praised!
