#46: O for a Thousand Tongues

 (Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith)

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 thru 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 pow’r of canceled sin,

He sets the pris’ner free.

His blood can make the foulest clean –

His blood availed for me.

5

Hear Him, ye deaf; His praise, ye dumb,

Your loosened tongues employ.

Ye blind, behold your Savior come,

And leap, ye lame, for joy.

6

Glory to God and praise and love

Be ever, ever giv’n

By saints below, and saint above –

The Church in earth and heav’n.
