O for a thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemer¡¦s
praise,
The glories of my God and King,
The triumphs of
His grace!
My gracious Master and my God,
Assist me to proclaim,
To spread through all the earth abroad
The honours of Thy
name.
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.
He breaks the power of cancelled sin,
He sets the prisoner
free;
His blood can make the foulest clean,
His blood
availed for me.
He speaks, and, listening to His voice,
New life the dead
receive,
The mournful, broken hearts rejoice,
The humble
poor believe.
Hear Him, ye deaf; His praise, ye dumb,
Your loosened
tongues employ;
Ye blind, behold your Saviour come,
And
leap, ye lame, for joy.
