Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs ‎#XL

XL. Praise

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 Jesus, the name that charms our fears,
That bids our sorrows cease;
'Tis musick in the sinner's ears,
'Tis life, and health, and peace.

3 He breaks the pow'r of cancel'd sin,
He sets the pris'ners free;
His blood can make the foulest clean;
His blood avail'd 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.

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.
