Christ in Song ‎#450

450. A Thousand Tongues

1 O for a thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemer's praise!
The glories of my God and King,
The triumphs of his grace,
The triumphs of his grace.

2 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,
'Tis life, and health, and peace.

3 He breaks the pow'r of cancelled sin,
He sets the pris'ner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean
His blood avails for me,
His blood avails for me.

4 He speaks, and list'ning to his voice,
New life the dead receive;
The mournful, broken hearts rejoice,
The humble poor believe,
The humble poor believe.
