O for a thousand tongues to sing

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. Jesus, the name that calms our fears
and bids our sorrows cease;
this music in the sinner’s ears
is life and health and peace.

3. He breaks the power of cancelled sin,
he sets the prisoner free;
his blood can make the foulest clean,
his blood availed for me.

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

5. My gracious Master and my God,
assist me to proclaim
and spread through all the earth abroad
the honours of your name.
