O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing

Verse 1 ~

O 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 Saviour come,
     and leap, ye lame, for joy.
