O for a thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemer�s praise,
The glories of my God and King,
The triumphs of His grace!
My
gracious Master and my God,
Assist me to proclaim,
To spread through all the earth
abroad
The honors of Thy name.
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.
He breaks the power of
canceled sin,
He sets the prisoner free;
His blood can make the foulest
clean,
His blood availed for me.
He speaks, and, listening to
His voice,
New life the dead receive,
The mournful, broken hearts
rejoice,
The humble poor believe.
Hear Him, ye deaf; His
praise, ye dumb,
Your loosened tongues employ;
Ye blind, behold your Savior
come,
And leap, ye lame, for joy.
In Christ your Head, you then
shall know,
Shall feel your sins forgiven;
Anticipate your heaven below,
And own that love is heaven.
Glory to God, and praise and
love
Be ever, ever given,
By saints below and saints
above,
The church in earth and heaven.
On this glad day the glorious
Sun
Of Righteousness arose;
On my benighted soul He shone
And filled it with repose.
Sudden expired the legal
strife,
�Twas then I ceased to grieve;
My second, real, living life
I then began to live.
Then with my heart I first
believed,
Believed with faith divine,
Power with the Holy Ghost
received
To call the Savior mine.
I felt my Lord�s atoning
blood
Close to my soul applied;
Me, me He loved, the Son of God,
For me, for me He died!
I found and owned His promise
true,
Ascertained of my part,
My pardon passed in heaven I
knew
When written on my heart.
Look unto Him, ye nations,
own
Your God, ye fallen race;
Look, and be saved through faith
alone,
Be justified by grace.
See all your sins on Jesus
laid:
The Lamb of God was slain,
His soul was once an offering
made
For every soul of man.
Awake from guilty nature�s
sleep,
And Christ shall give you light,
Cast all your sins into the
deep,
And wash the �thiop white.
Harlots and publicans and
thieves
In holy triumph join!
Saved is the sinner that
believes
From crimes as great as mine.
Murderers and all ye hellish
crew
In holy triumph join!
Believe the Savior died for you;
For me the Savior died.
With me, your chief, ye then
shall know,
Shall feel your sins forgiven;
Anticipate your heaven below,
And own that love is heaven.
