O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing

O FOR A THOUSAND TONGUES TO SING

by

Charles Wesley

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 charms 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.
