A Thousand Tongues

1O for a thousand tongues to sing My great Redeemer's praise! The glories of my God and King, The triumphs of his grace!

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

3Jesus! the name that charms our fears, That bids our sorrows cease; 'Tis music in the sinner's ears, 'Tis life, and health, and peace.

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

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

6Hear him, ye deaf; his praise, ye dumb, Your loosened tongues employ; Ye blind, behold your Savior come; And leap, ye lame, for joy!
