Oh for a thousand tongues, to sing
Author: C. Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,808 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 1:21 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 thy Name.
3 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.
4 He breaks the power of canceled sin,
He sets the prisoner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean,
His blood availed 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, ye deaf; his praise, ye dumb,
Your loosened tongues employ;
Ye blind, behold your Saviour come;
And leap, ye lame, for joy. Topics: General Praise; General Invitation to Praise the Redeemer
Oh for a thousand tongues, to sing
Thou hidden source of calm repose
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 173 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 1:21 Lyrics: 1 Thou hidden source of calm repose,
thou all-sufficient love divine,
my help and refuge from my foes,
secure I am, if thou art mine:
and lo, from sin, and grief, and shame,
I hide me, Jesus, in thy name.
2 Thy mighty name salvation is,
and keeps my happy soul above;
comfort it brings, and power, and peace,
and joy, and everlasting love:
to me, with thy dear name, are given
pardon, and holiness, and heaven.
3 Jesus, my all in all thou art:
my rest in toil, my ease in pain,
the medicine of my broken heart,
in war my peace, in loss my gain,
my smile beneath the tyrant's frown,
in shame my glory and my crown;
4 In want my plentiful supply,
in weakness my almighty power,
in bonds my perfect liberty,
my light in Satan's darkest hour,
in grief my joy unspeakable,
my life in death, my heaven in hell. Used With Tune: MELITA

To the name of our salvation
Author: John Mason Neale (1818-1866) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 123 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 1:21 Lyrics: 1 To the name of our salvation
laud and honour let us pay,
which for many a generation
hid in God's foreknowledge lay,
but with holy exultation
we may sing aloud today.
2 Jesus is the name we treasure,
name beyond what words can tell,
name of gladness, name of pleasure,
ear and heart delighting well;
name of power beyond all measure,
saving us from sin and hell.
3 Jesus is the name exalted
over every other name;
in this name, whene'er assaulted
we can put our foes to shame:
strength to those who would have halted,
eyes to blind, and feet to lame.
4 Therefore we in love adoring
this most blessèd name revere,
Holy Jesus, thee imploring
so to write it in us here,
that hereafter, heavenward soaring,
we may sing with angels there. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Risen - Reign and Priesthood; Adoration Of Jesus; Conflict; Jesus Name Used With Tune: TANTUM ERGO SACRAMENTUM Text Sources: 15th century; translated Hymns Ancient and Modern, 1861

Immanuel
Appears in 82 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 1:23 First Line: God with us! O glorious name! Lyrics: 1 God with us! O glorious name!
Let it shine in endless fame:
God and man in Christ unite,
O mysterious depth and height!
2 God with us! amazing love
Brought him from his courts above;
Now, ye saints, his grace admire,
Swell the song with holy fire.
3 God with us! but tainted not
With the first transgressor's blot;
Yet did he our sins sustain,
Bear the guilt, the curse, the pain.
4 [God with us! O blissful theme!
Let the impious not blaspheme,
Jesus shall in judgment sit,
Dooming rebels to the pit.]
5 God with us! O wondrous grace!
Let us see him face to face,
That we may Immanuel sing,
As we ought, our God and King.
