O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,736 hymnals Topics: Original Sin 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 charms our fears, that bids our sorrows cease; 'tis music in the sinner's ears, 'tis life and health and peace. 4 He breaks the pow'r of reigning sin, he sets the pris'ner free; his blood can make the foulest clean, his blood availed for me. 5 He speaks and, list'ning to his voice, new life the dead receive; the mournful, broken hearts rejoice; the humble poor believe. 6 Hear him, ye deaf; his praise, ye dumb, your loosen'd tongues employ; ye blind, behold your Savior come; and leap, ye lame, for joy. Scripture: Isaiah 61:1-2 Used With Tune: AZMON

O Christ, Our King, Creator, Lord

Author: Gregory the Great, ca. 540-604; Ray Palmer Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 54 hymnals Topics: Original Sin Lyrics: 1 O Christ, our King, Creator, Lord, Savior of all who trust thy Word, to them who seek thee ever near, now to our praises bend thine ear. 2 In thy dear cross a grace is found (it flows from every streaming wound) whose pow'r our inbred sin controls, breaks the firm bond, and frees our souls. 3 Thou didst create the stars of night; yet thou hast veiled in flesh thy light, hast deigned a mortal form to wear, a mortal's painful lot to bear. 4 When thou didst hang upon the tree, the quaking earth acknowledged thee; when thou didst here yield up thy breath, the world grew dark as shades of death. 5 Now in the Father's glory high, great Conqu'ror, nevermore to die, us by thy mighty pow'r defend, and reign through ages without end. Scripture: Isaiah 44:24 Used With Tune: OMBERSLEY

Scripture: Psalm 51:3-13

All Mankind Fell in Adam's Fall

Author: Lazarus Spengler; Matthias Loy Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Original Sin Lyrics: 1 All mankind fell in Adam's fall, one common sin infects them all; from sire to son the bane descends, and over all its curse impends. 2 Through all man's pow'rs corruption creeps and him in dreadful bondage keeps; in guilt he draws his infant breath and reaps its fruits of woe and death. 3 From hearts depraved, to evil prone, flow thoughts and deeds of sin alone; God's image lost, the darkened soul nor seeks nor finds its heav'nly goal. 4 But Christ, the second Adam, came to bear our sin and woe and shame, to be our Life, our Light, our Way, our only Hope, our only Stay. 5 As by one man all mankind fell and, born in sin, was doomed to hell, so by one Man, who took our place, we all received the gift of grace. 6 We thank thee, Christ; new life is ours, new light, new hope, new strength, new pow'rs: may grace our ev'ry way attend until we reach our journey's end! Scripture: Genesis 3:1-19 Used With Tune: SAXONY

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 42 hymnals Topics: Sin Original; Sin Original First Line: Adam our father and our head Lyrics: 1 Adam our father and our head, Transgress'd, and justice doom'd us dead; The fiery law speaks all despair, There's no reprieve nor pardon there. 2 Call a bright council in the skies; Seraphs the mighty and the wise, Speak; are you strong to bear the load, The weighty vengeance of a God? 3 In vain we ask; for all around Stand silent thro' the heavenly ground; There's not a glorious mind above Has half the strength, or half the love. 4 But O! unmeasuraable grace! The eternal Son takes Adam's place; Down to our world the Saviour flies, Stretches his arms, and bleeds, and dies. 5 Amazing work! look down, ye skies, Wonder and gaze with all your eyes; Ye saints below and saints above, And bow to this mysterious love.

Soon as we draw our infant breath, The seeds of sin grow up for death; Thy law demands a perfect heart, But we're defiled in every part. [Great God, create my heart anew, And form my spirit pure and true; O make me wise betimes to spy My danger and my remedy.] Behold, I fall before thy face; My only refuge is thy grace: No outward forms can make me clean The leprosy lies deep within. No bleeding bird, nor bleeding beast, Nor hyssop branch, nor sprinkling priest, Nor running brook, nor flood, nor sea, Can wash the dismal stain away. Jesus, my God, thy blood alone Hath power sufficient to atone; Thy blood can make me white as snow; No Jewish types could cleanse me so. While guilt disturbs and breaks my peace, Nor flesh nor soul hath rest or ease; Lord, let me hear thy pard'ning voice, And make my broken bones rejoice. Scripture: Psalm 51
