8. Oh, for a Thousand Tongues to Sing!

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 honours of Thy name.

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.

4 He breaks the power of cancelled sin,
He sets the pris’ner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean,
His blood availed for me.

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