The Celebration Hymnal

O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing

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 breaks the pow'r of cancelled sin,  
He sets the prisoner free;  
His blood can make the foulest clean;  
His blood availed for me.  

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

5 My gracious Master and my God,  
Assist me to proclaim,  
To spread thro' all the earth abroad  
The honors of Thy Name.
