O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing Christian Background Music History in short.

In 1739, for the first anniversary of his transformation to Christianity, Charles Wesley published an eighteen-stanza wording starting “Glory to God, and compliment and love.” It had been printed in Hymns and Sacred Poems (1740), a hymnal published by Wesley and his sibling John. The familiar hymn “Oh, for one thousand Tongues” originates from stanzas 1 and 7-12 of the longer text.

“If I had a thousand tongues, I would praise Christ with them all.” So said Peter Böhler to Charles Wesley, inspiring the first line of the classic hymn, “Oh, for a thousand tongues to sing, my great Redeemer’s praise” (Psalter Hymnal Handbook.) Written to celebrate the one year anniversary of Charles’ conversion to Christianity, this declaration of Christ’s power and victory in his own life, rich in Biblical imagery of the Kingdom of God, becomes our own hymn of praise. We stand with the angels before the throne of God, lifting our voices as one church to glorify the one who “bids our sorrows cease.”

And yet, we also sing in the knowledge that the Kingdom of God is not yet fully realized. We proclaim Christ’s victory as a declaration of hope that we will see Christ reign over all. We stand with the voiceless, the lame, the prisoner, and the sorrowing, and lift our song of expectation.
