O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,772 hymnals Topics: God the Father, Creator Adoration 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 breaks the pow'r of canceled 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 loosened tongues employ; ye blind, behold your Saviour come, and leap, ye lame, for joy. 7 In Christ, your head, you then shall know, shall feel your sins forgiv'n; anticipate your heav'n below, and own that love is heav'n. 8 Look unto Him, ye nations, own, your God, ye fallen race! Look, and be saved through faith alone, be justified by grace! 9 Glory to God, and praise and love be ever, ever giv'n by saints below and saints above, the church in earth and heav'n.
