Suggestions for joyful singing
During a pandemic it is difficult to get together to sing, and it doesn't work online on programmes like Zoom or Houseparty, since people are singing at different times. If you don't feel comfortable opening Youtube to find hymns, and haven't got cd's, what else might work? Try the following:
O for a thousand tongues to sing
my dear Redeemer's praise,
the glorious of my God and King,
the triumphs of his grace.
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.
He breaks the power of cancelled,
he sets the prisoner free;
his blood can make the foulest clean;
his blood availed for me.
Give me joy in my heart,
keep me praising;
Give me joy in my heart I pray.
Give me joy in my heart,
keep me praising,
keep me praising till the end of day.
Sing hosanna, sing hosanna,
sing hosanna to the end of day.
Sing hosanna, sing hosanna,
sing hosanna to the King!
