Oh for a thousand tongues, to sing

Author: C. Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,813 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.

The First Noel, the Angel Did Say

Meter: Irregular Appears in 435 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 1:18 Lyrics: 1 The first Noel, the angel did say, was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay; in fields where they lay keeping their sheep, on a cold winter's night that was so deep. Refrain: Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, born is the King of Israel. 2 They looked up and saw a star shining in the east, beyond them far, and to the earth it gave great light, and so it continued both day and night. [Refrain] 3 And by the light of that same star three wise men came from country far, to seek for a king was their intent, and to follow the star wherever it went. [Refrain] 4 This star drew nigh to the northwest, o'er Bethlehem it took its rest, and there it did both stop and stay, right over the place where Jesus lay. [Refrain] 5 Then entered in those wise men three, full reverently upon their knee, and offered there in his presence their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense. [Refrain] 6 Then let us all with one accord sing praises to our heavenly Lord, who hath made heaven and earth of naught, and with his blood our life hath bought.
