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 pow'r 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.
