The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 ‎#440

440. Oh, for a thousand tongues to sing

1 Oh, for a thousand tongues to sing,
My blest Redeemer's praise,
The glories of my God and King,
The triumphs of His grace!

2 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.

3 He speaks; and, listening to His voice,
New life the dead receive;
The mournful, broken hearts rejoice,
The humble poor believe.

4 Hear Him, ye deaf; His praise, ye dumb,
Your loosened tongues employ;
Ye blind, behold your Saviour come;
And leap, ye lame, for joy!

5 My gracious Master and my God,
Assist me to proclaim
And spread through all the world abroad
The honors of Thy Name.

Amen.
