39. O for a thousand tongues to sing

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

2 My gracious Master and my God,
Assist me to proclaim,
To spread through all the earth abroad,
The honors of thy name.

3 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.

4 He breaks the pow'r of reigning sin,--
He sets the pris'ner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean;
His blood availed for me.
