Verse 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!
Verse 2
My gracious Master and my God,
Assist me to proclaim,
To spread through all the earth abroad
The honours of your name.
Verse 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.
Verse 4
He breaks the power of cancelled sin,
He sets the prisoner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean;
His blood availed for me.
Verse 5
To God all glory, praise, and love
Be now and ever given
By saints below and saints above,
The Church in earth and heaven.
