The Singing Of O For A Thousand Tongues

O For A Thousand Tongues is written by Charles Wesley, 1739 and the tune is by Carl G. Glaser, 1784-1829.

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 calms 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. Amen.
