O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing
O for a thousand tongues to sing My great Redeemer's praise,
The glories of my God and King, The triumphs of His grace.
Jesus! the name that charms our fears, That bids our 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.
Hear Him, ye deaf; His praise, ye dumb, Your loosened tongues employ;
Ye blind, behold your Savior come, And leap, ye lame, for joy.
My gracious Master and my God, Assist me to proclaim,
To spread thro' all the earth abroad, The honors of Thy name.
Words: Charles Wesley (1739) (on the first anniversary of his conversion to Christ)
And be sure to see all the other beautiful verses he wrote.
Music: Carl G. Glaser (1828)
