O for a thousand tongues, to sing
1
O for a thousand tongues, to singMy great Redeemers praise!The glories of my God and King,The triumphs of his grace.
2
My gracious Master and my God,Assist me to proclaim,To spread through all the earth abroad,The honors of thy name.
3
Jesus, the name that calms our fears,That bids our sorrows cease,—'Tis music in the sinner's ears,'Tis life, and health, and peace.
4
He breaks the cruel power of sin,He sets the prisoner free;His blood can make the foulest clean,His blood avails for me.
5
He speaks, and listening to his voice,New life the dead receive;The mournful, broken hearts rejoice,The humble poor believe.
6
Hear him, ye deaf; praise him, ye dumb,—Your loosened tongues employ;Ye blind, behold your Saviour come,And leap, ye lame, for joy.
