O for a thousand tongues to sing my great Redeemer’s praise
The glories of my God and King, the triumphs of His grace
I felt my Lord’s atoning blood close to my soul applied
Me, me He loved, the Son of God, for me, for me He died
Glory to God, praise and love are forever given
By saints below, saints above, the church in earth and heaven
He speaks, and, listening to His voice, new life the dead receive
His spirit leads us to the choice, and brings us to believe
He breaks the power of cancelled sin, He sets the prisoner free
His blood can make the foulest clean, His blood availed for me
Look unto Him, you nations, own your God, you fallen race
Look, and be saved through faith alone, be justified by grace
My gracious Master and my God, assist me to proclaim
To spread throughout the Earth abroad the honors of your name

I just keep listening to this album, over and over. I appreciate that this album (and Morning to Evening, for that matter), aren't the same mass-produced, cookie-cutter, doctrine-lite offerings that you might find on Christian radio.
This album takes you through the Holy Week and is appropriately reverent, solemn, and finally breaks out into joyful celebration of our Savior in song.
I'm grateful that I stumbled on this album and Green Carpet Players! Keep 'em coming! David Hohulin
