1 Oh for a thousand tongues to sing
My dear 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 your name.
3 Jesus, the name that calms 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 reigning sin,
He sets the prisoner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean;
His blood availed for me.
5 Let us obey--we then shall know,
Shall feel our sins forgiven;
Anticipate our heaven below,
And own that love is heaven.
