O for a thousand tongues to sing new version
A beautiful choice!
"O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing" is a classic hymn written by Robert Francis Wilson in 1740. Here's a new version, with a modern twist:
O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing (New Version)
O for a thousand voices to proclaim The glory of Your name, the love that's still the same In every culture, every tongue, and every land May Your praise resound, a symphony so grand
Your love is like a river, flowing deep and wide A never-ending fountain, where hearts can abide In Your presence, we find rest, a peace that's hard to find A sense of belonging, a love that's one of a kind
O for a thousand tongues to sing The wonders of Your love, the joy that You bring In every language, every heart, and every place May Your glory shine, a beacon in the space
Your love is like a fire, burning bright and true A flame that guides us, through the darkest night anew In Your presence, we find hope, a light that shines so bright A love that's unconditional, a love that's always right
O for a thousand tongues to sing The wonders of Your love, the joy that You bring In every language, every heart, and every place May Your glory shine, a beacon in the space
