O for a thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemer's praise
My great Redeemer's praise!
The glories of my God and King
The triumphs of His grace!


Jesus! the name that charms our fears
That bids our sorrows cease
That bids our sorrows cease
'Tis music in the sinner's ears
'Tis life, and health, and peace


See all your sins on Jesus laid
The Lamb of God was slain
The Lamb of God was slain
His soul was once an offering made
For every soul of man


He breaks the power of cancelled sin
He sets the prisoner free
He sets the prisoner free
His blood can make the foulest clean
His blood availed for me




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


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


My gracious Master and my God
Assist me to proclaim
Assist me to proclaim
To spread through all the earth abroad
The honours of Thy name
