155 ~ O For a Thousand Tongues
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.
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 charms our fears, That bids our sorrows cease — 'Tis music in the sinner's ears, 'Tis life, and health, and peace.
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.
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 savior come, And leap, ye lame, for joy.
