O FOR A THOUSAND TONGUES TO SING
My great Redeemer’s praise
The glories of my God and King
The honours of His grace
My gracious Master and my God
Assist me to proclaim
To spread through all the earth abroad
The honour of thy name
The honour 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
And sets the prisoner free
His blood can make the foulest clean
His blood availed for me
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 Saviour come
And leap ye lame for joy
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 in heaven
Glory to God
And praise and love
Be ever ever given
By saint below and saints above
The church in earth and heaven
The church in earth and heaven
Charles Wesley (1707-1788)
