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. 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 power of canceled sin,
he sets the prisoner free;
his blood can make the foulest clean,
his blood availed for me.

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

6. Glory to God, and praise and love
be ever, ever given,
by saints below and saints above,
the church in earth and heaven.

7. Look unto Him, ye nations, own
your God, ye fallen race;
look, and be saved through faith alone,
be justified by grace.

8. See all your sins on Jesus laid:
the Lamb of God was slain,
his soul was once an offering made
for every soul of man.

9. Harlots and publicans and thieves
in holy triumph join!
Saved is the sinner that believes
from crimes as great as mine.

10. Murderers and all ye hellish crew
in holy triumph join!
Believe the Savior died for you;
for me the Savior died.

11. With me, your chief, ye then shall know:
your sins are all forgiven!
Anticipate your heaven below,
and own that love is heaven.
