Oh, for a Thousand Tongues to Sing
"I will praise thee, O LORD." - Ps. 9:1
VERSE 1
Oh, for a thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemer's praise,
The glories of my God and King,
The triumphs of His grace!
VERSE 2
My gracious Master and my God,
Assist me to proclaim,
To spread through all the earth abroad,
The honours of Thy Name.
VERSE 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.
VERSE 4
He breaks the power of cancelled sin,
He sets the pris'ner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean
His blood availed for me.
VERSE 5
Hear Him, ye deaf, His praise, ye dumb,
Your loosened tongues employ;
Ye blind behold your Saviour come;
And leap, ye lame, for joy!
