Hymn 75

Oh for a thousand tongues to sing

1

Oh for a thousand tongues to sing

My dear Redeemer’s praise,

The glories of my God and King,

The triumphs of His grace !

2

Jesus the name that charms our fears

That bids our sorrows cease;

Tis music in the sinners ears;

Tis life, and health, and peace.

3

He breaks the pow'r of cancell’d sin

And sets the prisoner free;

His blood can make the foulest clean;

His blood avail’d for me.

4

He speaks and, listening to His voice,

New life the dead receive;

The mournful broken hearts rejoice,

The humble poor believe.

5

Hear Him, ye deaf; His praise, ye dumb,

Your loosen’d tongues employ;

Ye blind, behold your Saviour come.

And leap, ye lame, for joy!

6

My gracious Master and my God

Assist me to proclaim

And spread through all the earth abroad

The honours of Thy name,
