Author: C. Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,729 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 146:7 Lyrics: 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 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 canceled sin, He sets the prisoner free; His blood can make the foulest clean, His blood availed for me. 5 He speaks, and, listening to his voice, New life the dead receive; The mournful, broken hearts rejoice; The humble poor believe. 6 Hear him, ye deaf; his praise, ye dumb, Your loosened tongues employ; Ye blind, behold your Saviour come; And leap, ye lame, for joy.
