O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing (Azmon)

Words: Charles Wesley · Music: Carl Gläser, Lowell Mason · 1740

Verse 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.

Verse 2
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 3
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.

Verse 4
He speaks and, list'ning to his voice,
new life the dead receive;
the mournful, broken hearts rejoice;
the humble poor believe.

Verse 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.

Verse 6
My gracious Master and my God,
assist me to proclaim,
to spread throughout the earth abroad
the honors of thy name.
