Lyrics

Verse 1 O for a thousand tongues to sing My great Redeemers praise, My great Redeemers praise The glories of my God and King, The triumphs of His grace! (x4) [Women echo x3]

Verse 2 My gracious Master and my God, Assist me to proclaim, Assist me to proclaim To spread through all the earth abroad The honors of Thy name. (x4) [Women echo x3] Verse 3 Jesus! the name that charms our fears, That bids our sorrows cease; That bids our sorrows cease 'Tis music in the sinner's ears, 'Tis life, and health, and peace. (x4) [Women echo x3] Verse 4 He breaks the power of reigning sin, He sets the prisoner free; He sets the prisoner free; His blood can make the foulest clean, His blood availed for me. (x4) [Women echo x3] Verse 5 He speaks, and, listening to His voice, New life the dead receive, New life the dead receive The mournful, broken hearts rejoice, The humble poor believe. (x4) [Women echo x3] Verse 6 Hear Him, ye deaf; His praise, ye dumb, Your loosened tongues employ; Your loosened tongues employ; Ye blind, behold your Savior come, And leap, ye lame, for joy. (x4) [Women echo x3] Verse 7 Glory to God, and praise and love Be ever, ever given, Be ever, ever given, By saints below and saints above, The church in earth and heaven. (x4) [Women echo x3] Verse 8 I felt my Lord's atoning blood Close to my soul applied; Close to my soul applied; Me, me He loved, the Son of God, For me, for me He died! (x4) [Women echo x3] Verse 9 See all your sins on Jesus laid: The Lamb of God was slain, The Lamb of God was slain, His soul was once an offering made For many souls of men. (x4) [Women echo x3] Verse 10 Harlots and publicans and thieves In holy triumph join! In holy triumph join! Saved is the sinner that believes From crimes as great as mine. (x4) [Women echo x3]
