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 reigning 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 Savior come,
And leap, ye lame, for joy.
Verse 7
Glory to God, and praise and
Love be ever, ever given,
By saints below and saints above,
The church in earth and heaven.
Verse 8
I felt my Lord's atoning blood
Close to my soul applied;
Me, me He loved, the Son of God,
For me, for me He died!
Verse 9
Look unto Him, ye nations,
Own your God, ye fallen race;
Look, and be saved through faith alone,
Be justified by grace.
Verse 10
See all your sins on Jesus laid:
The Lamb of God was slain,
His soul was once an offering
Made for many souls of men.
Verse 11
Harlots and publicans and thieves
In holy triumph join!
Saved is the sinner that believes
From crimes as great as mine!
