O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing ================================ m: Carl G. Glaser, 1828 w: Charles Wesley, 1739 arr. Lowell Mason, 1839 Tune: Azmon Meter: C.M. [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] My gracious Master and my God, assist me to proclaim, to spread through all the earth abroad the honors of thy name. [Verse 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. [Verse 4] He breaks the power of canceled sin, he sets the prisoner free; his blood can make the foulest clean; his blood availed for me. [Verse 5] He speaks, and listening to his voice, new life the dead receive; the mournful, broken hearts rejoice, the humble poor believe. [Verse 6] 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 7] In Christ, your head, you then shall know, shall feel your sins forgiven; anticipate your heaven below, and own that love is heaven.
