O For a Thousand Tongues

Melody - Melody - Carl G. Glaser / "Beatitudo"

Charles Wesley

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 calms my 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 canceled sin,
He sets the prisoner pree;
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.
