Tune 2: #197, #200 (Tune 1)

 

 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.

 

 2 

My gracious Master and my God,

   Assist me to proclaim,

To spread through all the earth abroad,

   The honors of Thy name.

 

 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.

 

 4 

His love my heart has captive made,

   His captive would I be,

For He was bound, and scourged and died,

   My captive soul to free.

 

 5 

He breaks the power of canceled sin,

   He sets the prisoner free;

His blood can make the foulest clean;

   His blood availed for me.

 

 6 

So now Thy blessed Name I love,

   Thy will would e'er be mine.

Had I a thousand hearts to give,

   My Lord, they all were Thine!
