CH4 352 - O for a thousand tongues
Played by Catriona Lachlan at Polbeth Harwood Church

O for a thousand tongues to sing 
My great Redeemer's praise, 
The glories 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 sin, 
He sets the prisoner free; 
His blood can make the foulest clean; 
His blood availed for me. 
 
He speaks, and listening to His voice 
New life the dead receive 
The mournful, broken hearts rejoice 
The humble poor believe 
 
Hear Him, ye deaf; His praise, ye dumb 
Your loosened tongues employ 
Ye blind, behold your Saviour come 
And leap, ye lame, for joy  
 
My gracious Master and my God, 
Assist me to proclaim, 
To spread through all the earth abroad 
The honours of thy name.

CH4: 167 - Guide me, O thou great Redeemer
Played by Catriona Lachlan, at the West Kirk of Calder

Guide me, O thou great Redeemer,
Pilgrim through this barren land;
I am weak, but thou art mighty;
Hold me with thy powerful hand:
Bread of heaven, bread of heaven,
Feed me till my want is o’er.
Feed me till my want is o’er.

Open now the crystal fountain
Whence the healing stream doth flow;
Let the fiery and cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through:
Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer,
Be thou still my strength and shield,
Be thou still my strength and shield.

When I tread the verge of Jordan
Bid my anxious fears subside;
Death of death, and hell's destruction,
Land me safe on Canaan's side:
Songs of praises, songs of praises,
I will ever give to thee,
I will ever give to thee.

CH4 550:1-3 - As the Deer Pants for the Water
Music by Catriona and Maggie Lachlan
 
As the deer pants for the water,
So my soul longs after you.
You alone are my heart’s desire,
And I long to worship you.
 
You alone are my strength, my shield,
To you alone may my spirit yield.
You alone are my heart’s desire,
And I long to worship you.
 
I want you more than gold or silver;
Only you can satisfy.
You alone are the real joy-giver,
And the apple of my eye.
 
Chorus
 
You’re my friend and you are my brother,
Even though you are a King.
I love you more than any other,
So much more than anything.
 
Chorus
