Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Trinity Psalter Hymnal #291 (2018) 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 thro' 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 pow'r of reigning sin,
he sets the pris'ner free;
his blood can make the foulest clean,
his blood availed for me.
5 He speaks, and list'ning 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 loosen'd tongues employ;
ye blind, behold your Savior come;
and leap, ye lame, for joy.
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. Topics: Christ Blood of; Christ Name of ; Christ Praise of; Joy; Original Sin; Witnessing Scripture: Isaiah 35:6 Languages: English Tune Title: AZMON
