O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing
Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,730 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O for a thousand tongues to sing
my great Redeemer's praise,
the glories of my God and King,
the triumphs of his grace.
2 Jesus! the name that charms our fears
and bids our sorrows cease;
'tis music in the sinner's ears,
'tis life, and health, and peace.
3 He speaks; and, listening to his voice,
new life the dead receive;
the mournful, broken hearts rejoice,
the humble poor believe.
4 Hear him, ye deaf, ye voiceless ones,
your loosened tongues employ;
ye blind, behold your Saviour come,
and leap, ye lame, for joy!
5 My gracious Master and my God,
assist me to proclaim,
to spread through all the earth abroad
the honours of thy name. Topics: Healing; Jesus, Name of; Praise of God; Name of Jesus Scripture: Psalm 40 Used With Tune: RICHMOND

Praise to the Holiest in the height
Author: J. H. Newman (1801-1890) Appears in 169 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Praise to the Holiest in the height,
and in the depth be praise;
in all his words most wonderful,
most sure in all his ways!
2 O loving wisdom of our God!
when all was sin and shame,
a second Adam to the fight
and to the rescue came.
3 O wisest love! that flesh and blood,
which did in Adam fail,
should strive afresh against the foe,
should strive and should prevail;
4 And that the highest gift of grace
should flesh and blood refine:
God's presence and his very self,
and essence all-divine.
5 O generous love! that he who came
as man to smite our foe,
the double agony for us
as man should undergo:
6 And in the garden secretly,
and on the cross on high,
should teach his brethren, and inspire
to suffer and to die.
7 Praise to the Holiest in the height,
and in the depth be praise;
in all his words most wonderful,
most sure in all his ways! Topics: Christ the Teacher; Christmas 1 The Incarnation; Epiphany 5, Revelation The Wisdom of God; God, Saviour Suffering and Dying; Lent 5, The King and the Kingdom The Victory of the Cross; The Fall Used With Tune: RICHMOND

City of God, how broad and far
Author: Samuel Johnson (1822-1882) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 166 hymnals Lyrics: 1 City of God, how broad and far
outspread thy walls sublime!
The true thy chartered freemen are
of every age and clime:
2 One holy church, one army strong,
one steadfast, high intent;
one working band, one harvest-song,
one King omnipotent.
3 How purely hath thy speech come down
from man's primaeval youth!
How grandly hath thine empire grown
of freedom, love, and truth!
4 How gleam thy watch-fires through the night
with never-fainting ray!
How rise thy towers, serene and bright,
to meet the dawning day!
5 In vain the surge's angry shock,
in vain the drifting sands:
unharmed upon the eternal Rock
the eternal city stands. Topics: Church nature of; Church Universal; Proper 4 Year A Scripture: Psalm 87:1-3 Used With Tune: RICHMOND

More laborers
Author: Samuel Longfellow Appears in 123 hymnals First Line: Oh, still in accents sweet and strong Lyrics: 1 Oh, still in accents sweet and strong
Sounds forth the ancient word,--
"More reapers for white harvest fields,
More laborers for the Lord!"

In selfish ease we lie,
But, girded for our Father's work,
Go forth beneath his sky.

And prayers of saints were sown,
We, to their labors entering in,
Would reap where they have strown. Topics: Activity; Christians Duties; Church Work of; Communion of Saints At Lord's Table Scripture: Matthew 9:38 Used With Tune: CHESTERFIELD
