214. The Tongue of Praise

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!

Refrain:
Glory to God!
He breaks the Pow'r of sin,
Glory to God!
He sets the pris'ner free;
Glory to God!
He makes the foulest clear,
Glory to God!
His blood avails for me.

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

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. [Refrain]

4 He breaks the pow’r of canceled sin,
He sets the prisoner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean,
His blood availed for me. [Refrain]
