Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #446 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 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 He breaks the power of reigning sin,
He sets the prisoner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean;
His blood availed for me.
5 He speaks, and, listening to His voice,
New life the dead receive;
The mournful, broken hearts rejoice;
The humble poor believe. Topics: The Church Year Twelfth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Twelfth Sunday after Trinity; Praise and Prayer Tune Title: [O for a thousand tongues to sing]
