198. O for a Thousand Tongues

1 O for a thousand tongues to sing
My dear Redeemer's praise,
My dear Redeemer's praise;
The glories of my God and King,
The triumphs of, the triumphs of His grace,
The triumphs of His grace,
The triumphs of His grace.

2 My gracious Master and my God,
Assist me to proclaim,
Assist me to proclaim,
To spread thro' all the earth abroad,
The honors of, the honors of Thy name,
The honors of Thy name,
The honors of Thy name.

3 Jesus! the name that calms our fears,
That bids our sorrows cease,
That bids our sorrows cease,
'Tis music in the sinner's ears,
'Tis life and health, 'tis life and health and peace,
'Tis life and health and peace,
'Tis life and health and peace.

4 He breaks the pow'r of a cancelled sin,
He sets the pris'ner free,
He sets the pris'ner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean,
His blood avails, His blood avails for me,
His blood avails for me,
His blood avails for me.
