1 Oh, for a thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemer's praise,
The glories of my God and King,
The triumphs of his grace!
2 My gracious Master and my God,
Assist me to proclaim,
To spread through all the earth abroad
The honors of your name.
3 The name of Jesus charms our fears
And bids our sorrows cease,
Sings music to the sinners ears,
Brings life and health and peace.
4 He breaks the pow'r of canceled sin;
He sets the pris'ner free.
His blood can make the foulest clean;
His blood avails for me.
5 Look to the Lord, who did atone
For sin, O fallen race.
Look and be saved through faith alone,
Be justified by grace.
6 See all our sins on Jesus laid;
The Lamb has made us whole.
His soul was once an off'ring made
For ev'ry human soul.
7 To God all glory, praise, and love
Be now and ever giv'n
By saints below and saints above,
The Church in earth and heav'n.
