Oh, for a thousand tongues to sing

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,736 hymnals 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 honors 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 reigning 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.

Foolish and vain were all our thoughts, And all our lives were sin. 2 But, O my soul, forever praise, For ever love his name, Who turns thy feet from dangerous ways Of folly, sin and shame. 3 ’Tis not by works of righteousness Which our own hands have done; But we are sav'd by sovereign grace Abounding through his Son. 4 ’Tis from the mercy of our God That all our hopes begin; ’Tis by the water and the blood Our souls are washed from sin. 5 ’Tis through the purchase of his death Who hung upon the tree, The Spirit is sent down to breathe On such dry bones as we. 6 Rais'd from the dead we live anew; And, justified by grace, We shall appear in glory too, And see our Father’s face.

Jesus, my Savior, Brother, Friend

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 87 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my Savior, Brother, Friend, On whom I cast my every care, On whom for all things I depend, Inspire, and then accept my prayer. 2 If I have tasted of thy grace, The grace that sure salvation brings; If with me now thy Spirit stays, And hov'ring hides me in his wings. 3 Still let him with my weakness stay, Nor for a moment’s space depart; Evil and danger turn away, And keep, till he renews my heart. 4 When to the right or left I stray, His voice behind me may I hear, "Return, and walk in Christ thy way, Fly back to Christ, for sin is near." 5 Jesus, I fain would walk in thee, From nature’s every path retreat; Thou art my way, my leader be, And set upon the rock my feet. 6 Uphold me, Savior, or I fall; O reach me out thy gracious hand: Only on thee for help I call; Only by faith in thee I stand.

O thou God of my salvation

Appears in 266 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O thou God of my salvation, My Redeemer from all sin, Mov'd to this by great compassion, Yearning bowels from within; I will praise thee: Where shall I thy praise begin? 2 While the angel-choirs are crying Glory to the great I AM; I with them will still be vying, Glory, glory, to the Lamb! O how precious Is the sound of Jesus’ name! 3 Now I see, with joy and wonder, Whence the healing streams arose; Angels-minds are lost to ponder Dying love's mysterious cause; Yet the blessing, Down to all, to me it flows. 4 Though unseen, I love the Savior, He almighty grace hath shown; Pardon'd guilt, and purchas'd favor! This he makes to mortals known, Give him glory, Glory, glory is his own. 5 Angels now are hov'ring round us, Unperceiv'd they mix the throng, Wond'ring at the love that crown'd us, Glad to sing the holy song: Hallelujah, Love and praise to Christ belong.

Praise to the Redeemer

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 479 hymnals First Line: Plung'd in a gulf of dark despair 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 hath 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 raised above the skies. 6 O for this love, let rocks and hills Their lasting silence break, And all harmonious human tongues The Savior’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.

To thee our souls we raise; And to thy matchless bounty rear A monument of praise. 2 Thy mercy gilds the path of life With ev'ry cheering ray; Kindly restrains the rising tear, Or wipes that tear away. 3 When, sunk in guilt, our race approach'd The borders of despair; Thy grace through Jesus' blood proclaim'd A free salvation near. 4 What shall we render, bounteous Lord, For all the grace we see? Alas! the goodness worms can yield Extendeth not to thee. 5 To tents of wo, to beds of pain, Our cheerful feet repair; And, with the gifts thy hand bestows, Relieve the mourners there. 6 The widow's heart shall sing for joy; The orphan shall be glad; And hung'ring souls we'll gladly point To Christ the living bread. 7 Thus, passing through this vale of tears, Our useful light shall shine; And others learn to glorify Our Father's name divine.
