STANZA 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.

STANZA 2
My gracious Master and my God,
assist me to proclaim,
to spread through all the earth abroad
the honors of Thy name.

STANZA 3
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.

STANZA 4
He breaks the pow’r of canceled sin;
He sets the pris’ner free.
His blood can make the foulest clean;
His blood availed for me.

STANZA 5
He speaks and, list’ning to His voice,
new life the dead receive;
the mournful, broken hearts rejoice;
the humble poor believe.

STANZA 6
Hear Him, ye deaf! His praise, ye dumb,
your loosened tongues employ!
Ye blind, behold your Savior come,
and leap, ye lame, for joy!

—Charles Wesley, 1739
