What has traditionally been the opening hymn in the Methodist Hymnal?
O For a Thousand Tongues to SingThis Methodist favorite has generally been the opening hymn in Methodist Hymnals since Charles Wesley's "Collection of Hymns for the Use of the People Called Methodists" (1780). Written by Wesley in 1739, 'O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing' commemorates Wesley's own conversion to Christianity on May 21, 1738. Interestingly, Wesley's original poem contained 18 stanza's although most have never been used as a hymn. Seven stanzas now make up 'O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing'. The first of these is actually the seventh in Wesley's poem. This now popular verse is thought to echo an expression often used by Peter Bohler: Words: Charles Wesley, 1739. Music: Carl G. Glaser, arranged by Lowell Mason, 1839. |
