Oh, for a thousand tongues to sing
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #337 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love 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 thro' all the earth abroad
The honours of thy name.
3 Jesus, the name that calms our fears,
That bids our sorrows cease;
'Tis music in the sinner's ears;
'Tis life, and health, and peace.
4 He breaks the pow'r of cancelled sin,
He sets the pris'ner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean;
His blood avail'd for me.
5 Let us obey, we then shall know,
Shall feel our sins forgiv'n:
Anticipate our heav'n below,
And own that love is heav'n.
Oh, for a thousand tongues to sing
O that I had a seraph's fire
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #340 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love Lyrics: 1 O that I had a seraph's fire,
His rapt'rous song and golden lyre,
To chant the love and grace supreme,
Reveal'd as in the gospel scheme.
2 Here's pardon full, for sins that's past--
It matters not how black their cast;
And, O my soul, with wonder view,
For sins to come, here's pardon too.
3 When Jesus died, our debts were paid,
Our sins laid on this Scape-Goat's head;
Were to the trackless desert drove,
And buried in eternal love.
4 In this abyss of love profound,
When sought for they shall not be found;
Hid from Jehovah's piercing eye,
There in oblivion's shades, they lie.
Scripture: Leviticus 16:9
O that I had a seraph's fire
Lord, and am I yet alive
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #341 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love Lyrics: 1 Lord, and am I yet alive,
Not in torments, not in hell!
Still doth thy good Spirit strive!--
With the chief of sinners dwell!
Tell it unto sinners, tell,
I am, I am out of hell!
2 Yes, I still lift up mine eyes,
Will not of thy love despair;
Still in spite of sin I rise,
Still I bow to thee in prayer.
Tell it unto sinners, tell,
I am, I am out of hell!
3 O the length and breadth of love!
Jesus, Saviour, can it be!
All thy mercy's height I prove,
All the depth is seen in me.
Tell it unto sinners, tell,
I am, I am out of hell!
4 See a bush, that burns with fire,
Unconsum'd amid the flame!
Turn aside the sight t'admire,
I the living wonder am.
Tell it unto sinners, tell,
I am, I am out of hell!
5 See a stone that hangs in air!
See a spark in ocean live!
Kept alive with death so near,
I to God the glory give:
Ever tell--to sinners tell,
I am, I am out of hell!
Lord, and am I yet alive
Hosanna to the royal Son
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #347 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love Lyrics: 1 Hosannah to the royal Son
Of David's ancient line,
His natures two, his person one,
Mysterious and divine.
2 The root of David here we find,
And offspring is the same;
Eternity and time are join'd
In our Immanuel's name.
3 Blest he that comes to wretched men
With peaceful news from heaven;
Hosannas of the highest strain
To Christ the Lord be given.
4 Let mortals ne'er refuse to take
Th'hosannah on their tongues,
Lest rocks and stones should rise, and break
Their silence into songs. Scripture: Luke 19:38-40
Hosanna to the royal Son
Plung'd in a gulf of dark despair
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #349 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love Lyrics: 1 Plung'd in a gulf of dark despair
We wretched sinners lay,
Without one cheerful beam of hope,
Or spark of glimmering day.
2 With pitying eyes, the Prince of Grace
Beheld our helpless grief,
He saw, and (O amazing love!)
He ran to our relief.
3 Down from the shining seats above
With joyful haste he fled,
Enter'd the grave in mortal flesh,
And dwelt among the dead.
4 He spoil'd the powers of darkness thus,
And brake our iron chains;
Jesus has freed our captive souls
From everlasting pains.
5 In vain the baffled prince of hell
His cursed projects tries,
We that were doom'd his endless slaves
Are rais'd above the skies.
6 O for this love, let rocks and hills
Their lasting silence break,
And all harmonious human tongues
The Saviour's praises speak.
7 Angels, assist our mighty joys,
Strike all your harps of gold;
But when you raise your highest notes
His love can ne'er be told.
Plung'd in a gulf of dark despair
Great God of wonders! all thy ways
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #352 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love Lyrics: 1 Great God of wonders! all thy ways
Are matchless, godlike, and divine;
But thy fair glories of thy grace,
More godlike and unrivall'd shine:
Who is a pardoning God like thee?
Or who has grace so rich and free?
2 Crimes of such horror to forgive,
Such guilty daring worms to spare;
This is thy grand prerogative,
And none shall in the honour share:
Who is a pardoning God like thee?
Or who has grace so rich and free?
3 Angels and men resign their claim
To pity, mercy, love, and grace,
These glories crown Jehovah's name
With an incomparable blaze:
Who is a pardoning God like thee?
Or who has grace so rich and free?
4 In wonder lost, with trembling joy,
We take the pardon of our God,
Pardon for crimes of deepest dye;
A pardon seal'd with Jesus' blood:
Who is a pardoning God like thee?
Or who has grace so rich and free?
5 O may this strange, this matchless grace,
This godlike miracle of love,
Teach mortal tongues, like those above,
Fill the wide earth with grateful praise,
Who is a pardoning God like thee?
Or who has grace so rich and free? Scripture: Micah 7:18
Great God of wonders! all thy ways
When Christ, the blessed Savior
Author: Paul Henkel Hymnal: Church Hymn Book; consisting of hymns and psalms, original and selected. adapted to public worship and many other occasions. 2nd ed. #404 (1838) Topics: The Gospel, or Salvation Through Jesus Christ Languages: English
When Christ, the blessed Savior
O could I speak the matchless worth
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #326 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love Lyrics: 1 O could I speak the matchless worth,
O could I sound the glories forth
Which in my Saviour shine,
I'd soar and touch the heav'nly strings,
And vie with Gabriel, while he sings
In notes almost divine.
2 I'd sing the precious blood he spilt,
My ransom from the dreadful guilt
Of sin and wrath divine:
I'd sing his glorious righteousness,
In which all perfect heavenly dress
My soul shall ever shine.
3 I'd sing the characters he bears,
And all the forms of love he wears,
Exalted on his throne:
In loftiest songs of sweetest praise,
I would to everlasting days
Make all his glories known.
4 Well, the delightful day will come,
When my dear Lord will bring me home,
And I shall see his face:
Then with my Saviour, brother, friend,
A blest eternity I'll spend,
Triumphant in his grace. Scripture: Isaiah 35:2
O could I speak the matchless worth
Mistaken souls, that dream of heav'n
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #323 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ True faith accompanied by a holy life Lyrics: 1 Mistaken souls, that dream of heav'n,
And make their empty boast
Of inward joys and sins forgiv'n,
While they are slaves to lust!
2 Vain are our fancies, airy flights,
If faith be cold and dead;
None but a living pow'r unites
To Christ the living Head.
3 A faith that changes all the heart;
A faith that works by love;
That bids all sinful joys depart,
And lifts the thoughts above.
4 Faith must obey our Father's will,
As well as trust his grace:
A pard'ning God requires us still
To perfect holiness.
Mistaken souls, that dream of heav'n
There is a fountain fill'd with blood
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #327 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain fill'd with blood
Drawn from Emmanuel's veins;
And sinners plung'd beneath that flood,
Lose all their guilty stains.
2 The dying thief rejoic'd to see
That fountain in his day;
O there may I, though vile as he,
Wash all my sins away!
3 Dear dying Lamb, thy precious blood
Shall never lose its power,
Till all the ransom'd church of God
Be sav'd, to sin no more.
4 E'er since by faith, I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till I die.
5 Then in a nobler, sweeter song,
I'll sing thy power to save;
When this poor lisping stamm'ring tongue
Lies silent in the grave.
6 Lord, I believe thou hast prepar'd
(Unworthy though I be)
For me a blood-bought free reward,
A golden harp for me!
7 'Tis strung, and tun'd, for endless years,
And form'd by power divine;
To sound in God the Father's ears
No other name but thine. Scripture: Zechariah 13:1
There is a fountain fill'd with blood
