A Thousand Tongues

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 1,736 hymnals First Line: O for a thousand tongues to sing 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, The triumphs of his grace. 2 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, 'Tis life, and health, and peace. 3 He breaks the pow'r of cancelled sin, He sets the pris'ner free; His blood can make the foulest clean His blood avails for me, His blood avails for me. 4 He speaks, and list'ning to his voice, New life the dead receive; The mournful, broken hearts rejoice, The humble poor believe, The humble poor believe.

Praise ye the Lord, ye Christians!

Author: Nicolaus Herman; Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett, D. D. Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Praise ye the Lord, ye Christians! Yea, Praise the Eternal One, Who opens heaven to us this day, And gives us His own Son. 2 He comes from His loved Father's side, Becomes an infant small, And lies with scarce a want supplied Weak in an humble stall. 3 His power divine aside is laid, No crown adorns His brow; The mighty God who all things made Comes as a servant now. 4 He nestles at His mothers' breast, Her precious nursling boy, Whom saints and angels call the Blest, And who is all their joy. 5 He is the Root of David's line, King David's Lord and Son, Through whom and by whose grace divine The kingdom must be won. 6 A wonderful exchange He makes, He puts on flesh and blood, Then gives us back in what He takes, His Godhead as our good. 7 He serves, that I a lord may be, And gives His life for mine; How could His love do more for me? O mystery divine! 8 To-day He opens us the door Of blissful Paradise, The cherub threatens there no more; Then let His praises rise! Topics: The Church Year Christmas Used With Tune: CHRISTMAS
