O For a Thousand Tongues To Sing [Verse 1] O for a thousand tongues to sing My dear 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 honours of Thy Name. [Verse 3] Jesus! the Name that charms our fears. That bids our sorrows cease, 'Tis [ This ] music in the sinner's ears, 'Tis [ This ] life and health and peace. [Verse 4] He breaks the power of cancelled sin, He sets the prisoner free; His blood can make the foulest clean. His blood availed for me. [Verse 5] Glory to God, and praise, and love Be ever, ever given By saints below and saints above. The Church in earth and heaven. [Heading 2.1.b] 2. Angels We Have Heard On High [Verse 1] Angels we have heard on high, Sweetly singing o'er [ over ] the plains, And the mountains in reply. Echoing their joyous strains. Chorus: Glory, in the highest Glory, Glory, in the highest Glory. [Verse 2] Shepherds, why this jubilee? Why your joyous strains prolong? What the gladsome tidings be Which inspire your heav'nly [ heavenly ] song? [Verse 3] Come to Bethlehem, and see Him whose birth the angels sing; Come, adore on bended knee, Christ the Lord, the newborn King. [Verse 4] See Him in a manger laid, Whom the choirs of angels praise; Mary, Joseph, lend your aid. While our hearts in love we raise. [ PAGE THREE ] [Heading 2.1.c] 3. Look, Ye Saints 1 [Verse 1] Look, ye saints! the sight is glorious; See the Man of Sorrows now; From the fight returned victorious, Every knee to Him shall bow: Crown Him! crown Him! Crowns become the Victor's brow. [Verse 2] Crown the Saviour! angels, crown Him! Rich the trophies Jesus brings; In the seat of power enthrone Him, While the vault of heaven rings: Crown Him! crown Him! Crown the Saviour King of kings. [Verse 3] Hark, those bursts of acclamation! Hark, those loud triumphant chords! Jesus takes the highest station: O what joy the sight affords! Crown Him! crown Him King of kings, and Lord of lords! [Heading 2.1.d] Help Me. O Lord [Verse 1] Help me, O Lord, the God of my salvation! I have no hope, no refuge, but in Thee; Help me to make this perfect consecration, In life or death Thine evermore to be. [Verse 2] Help me, O Lord, to keep my pledge unbroken! Guard Thou my ways, my thoughts, my tongue, my heart; Help me to trust the word which Thou hast spoken. That from Thy paths my feet may ne'er [ never ] depart. [Verse 3] Help me, O Lord! My strength is only weakness; Thine, Thine the power by which alone I live; Help me each day to bear the cross with meekness. Till Thou at last the promised crown shalt give.
