Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal #20 (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O 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 speaks, and listening to His voice,
New life the dead receive.
The mournful broken hearts rejoice,
The humble poor believe.
5 He breaks the power of cancelled sin,
He sets the prisoner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean,
His blood availed for me.
6 See all your sins on Jesus laid:
The Lamb of God was slain,
His soul was once an offering made
For every soul of man. Topics: Adoration and Praise Languages: English Tune Title: RICHMOND
