O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing

Lyrics

VERSE 1
Oh for a thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemer’s praise
The glories of my God and King
The triumphs of His grace

VERSE 2
My gracious Master and my God
Assist me to proclaim
To spread through all the earth abroad
The honors of Thy name

VERSE 3
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

VERSE 4
He breaks the power of canceled sin
He sets the prisoner free
His blood can make the foulest clean
His blood availed for me

VERSE 5
He speaks, and listening to His voice
New life the dead receive
The mournful, broken hearts rejoice
The humble poor believe

VERSE 6
Hear Him, ye deaf; His praise, ye dumb
Your loosened tongues employ
Ye blind, behold your Savior come
And leap, ye lame, for joy

VERSE 7
Glory to God, and praise and love
Be ever, ever given
By saints below and saints above
The church in earth and heaven
