1O For a thousand tongues to sing
My dear Redeemer's praise!
The glories of my God and King,
The triumphs of his grace!
2My gracious Master and my God,
Assist me to proclaim;
To spread through all the earth abroad
The honours of thy name.
3Jesus the name that charms our fears,
That bids our sorrows cease:
Tis music in the sinner's ears;
Tis life, and health, and peace.
4He breaks the power of canceled sin,
He sets the prisoner free:
His blood can make the foulest clean:
His blood availed for me.
5Hear him, ye deaf: his praise, ye dumb,
Your loosened tongues employ;
Ye blind, behold your Saviour come,
And leap ye lame for joy!
6Look unto him, ye nations, own
Your God, ye fallen race;
Look and be saved through faith alone,
Be justified by grace!
7See all your sins on Jesus laid:
The lamb of God was slain,
His soul was once an offering made
For every soul of man
8Awake from guilty nature's sleep,
And Christ shall give you light;
Cast all your sins into the deep,
And wash the AEthiop white.
9With me your chief ye then shall know,
Shall feel your sins forgiven;
Anticipate your heaven below,
And own that love is heaven.
