LyicsO FOR a thousand tongues, to sing
My dear 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 clams our fears,
That bids our sorrows cease-
'Tis music to my ravished ears,
'Tis life, and health, and peace.
He breaks the power of reigning sin;
He sets the prisoner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean:
His blood availed for me.
