O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing (Lyngham)

Words: Charles Wesley · Music: Thomas Jarman · 1740

Verse 1
O for a thousand tongues to sing
my great Redeemer's praise,
my great Redeemer's praise,
the glories of my God and King,
the triumphs of his grace,
the triumphs of his grace . . .

Verse 2
Jesus, the name that charms our fears,
that bids our sorrows cease,
that bids our sorrows cease;
'tis music in the sinner's ears,
'tis life and health and peace,
'tis life and health and peace . . .

Verse 3
He breaks the pow'r of canceled sin,
he sets the pris'ner free,
he sets the pris'ner free;
his blood can make the foulest clean,
his blood availed for me,
his blood availed for me . . .

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

Verse 5
My gracious Master and my God,
assist me to proclaim,
assist me to proclaim,
to spread throughout the earth abroad
the honors of thy name,
the honors of thy name . . .
