  1. Oh for a thousand tongues to sing
    My dear Redeemer’s praise,
    The glories of my God and King,
    The triumphs of His grace!

  2. 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.

  3. He breaks the power of cancell’d sin,
    And sets the prisoner free;
    His blood can make the foulest clean,
    His blood availed for me.

  4. He speaks, and, listening to His voice,
    New life the dead receive,
    The mournful, broken hearts rejoice,
    The humble poor believe.

  5. Hear Him, ye deaf; His praise, ye dumb,
    Your loosened tongues employ;
    Ye blind, behold your Saviour come,
    And leap, ye lame, for joy!

  6. My gracious Master and my God,
    Assist me to proclaim,
    And spread through all the earth abroad
    The honors of Thy name. Amen.
