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. 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 speaks; and listening to his voice,
New life the dead receive;
The mournful, broken hearts rejoice,
The humble poor believe.
4. Hear him, you deaf; his praise, you dumb,
Your loosened tongues employ;
You blind, behold your Saviour come,
And leap, ye lame, for joy.
5. My gracious Master and my God,
Assist me to proclaim,
And spread through all the earth abroad
The honours of your name.
O For A Thousand Tongues To Sing Lyrics
