o for a thousand tongues to sing

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
his praise ye dumb
your loosened tongues employ
ye blind behold your savior come
and leap ye lame for joy

7 In Christ your head
you then shall know
shall feel your sins forgiven
anticipate your heaven below
and own that love is heaven
