Author: William Cowper Hymnal: CGH2010 #679 (2010) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Tune Title: AVON Lyrics: 1 O for a closer walk with God, a calm and heavenly frame, a light to shine upon the road that leads me to the Lamb! 2 Where is the blessedness I knew when first I sought the Lord? Where is the soul refreshing view of Jesus and His word? 3 Return, O holy Dove, return, sweet messenger of rest! I hate the sins that made Thee mourn and drove Thee from my breast. 4 The dearest idol I have known, whate'er that idol be, help me to tear it from Thy throne, and worship only Thee. 5 So shall my walk be close with God, serene and calm my frame; so purer light shall mark the road that leads me to the Lamb.

O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: CGH2010 #332 (2010) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Tune Title: AZMON 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 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 calms my fears, that bids my 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 To God all glory, praise, and love be ever, ever given by saints below and saints above, the church in earth and heaven.
