Oh for a thousand tongues to sing

by

VERSE 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

VERSE 2
My gracious Master and my God
Assist me to proclaim
To spread through all the earth abroad
The honors of Thy name

VERSE 3
Jesus! the name that charms our fears
That bids our sorrows cease
’Tis music in the sinner’s ears
’Tis life and health and peace

VERSE 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

VERSE 5
He speaks, and listening to His voice
New life the dead receive
The mournful, broken hearts rejoice
The humble poor believe

VERSE 6
Hear Him, ye deaf; His praise, ye dumb
Your loosened tongues employ
Ye blind, behold your Savior come
And leap, ye lame, for joy

VERSE 6
See all your sins on Jesus laid;
The Lamb of God was slain,
His soul was once an offering made
For ever soul of man.

Years I spent in vanity and pride,

by

Years I spent in vanity and pride,
Caring not my Lord was crucified,
Knowing not it was for me He died on Calvary.

Refrain

Mercy there was great, and grace was free;
Pardon there was multiplied to me;
There my burdened soul found liberty at Calvary.

By God’s Word at last my sin I learned;
Then I trembled at the law I’d spurned,
Till my guilty soul imploring turned to Calvary.

Refrain

Now I’ve given to Jesus everything,
Now I gladly own Him as my King,
Now my raptured soul can only sing of Calvary!

Refrain

Oh, the love that drew salvation’s plan!
Oh, the grace that brought it down to man!
Oh, the mighty gulf that God did span at Calvary!

Refrain

Lord Jesus, I love Thee,

by

Lord Jesus, I love Thee,
I know Thou art mine,
My rock and my fortress,
My Surety divine;
My gracious Redeemer,
my song shall be now,
‘Tis Thou who art worthy,
Lord Jesus, ‘tis Thou!

I love Thee because Thou
hast first lovèd me,
And purchased my pardon
on Calvary’s tree;
I love Thee for wearing
the thorns on Thy brow;
‘Tis Thou who art worthy,
Lord Jesus, ‘tis Thou!

I would love Thee in life,
I would love Thee in death,
And praise Thee as long
as Thou lendeth me breath,
And sing, should the death-dew
lie cold on my brow,
‘Tis Thou who art worthy,
Lord Jesus, ‘tis Thou!

And when the bright morn
of Thy glory shall come,
And the children ascend
to the Father’s glad home,
I’ll shout, with Thy likeness
impressed on my brow,
‘Tis Thou who art worthy,
Lord Jesus, ‘tis Thou.

I will sing of my Redeemer

by

1.I will sing of my Redeemer,
And His wondrous love to me;
On the cruel cross He suffered,
From the curse to set me free.

Sing, oh, sing of my Redeemer,
With His blood He purchased me,
On the cross He sealed my pardon,
Paid the debt, and made me free.

2.I will tell the wondrous story,
How my lost estate to save,
In His boundless love and mercy,
He the ransom freely gave.

3.I will praise my dear Redeemer,
His triumphant pow’r I’ll tell,
How the victory He giveth
Over sin, and death, and hell.

4.I will sing of my Redeemer,
And His heav’nly love to me;
He from death to life hath brought me,
Son of God with Him to be.

To God be the glory great things

by

To God be the glory great things He has done
So loved He the world that He gave us His son
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin
And opened the life gate that all may go in

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord let the earth hear His voice
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord let the people rejoice
Come to the Father through Jesus the Son
Give Him the glory great things He has done

O perfect redemption the purchase of blood
To every believer the promise of God
The vilest offender who truly believes
That moment from Jesus a pardon receives

Great things He has taught us great things He has done
And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son
But purer and higher and greater will be
Our wonder our worship when Jesus we see
