199.  O For 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!

2
Jesus! the name that soothes our fears,
That bids our sorrows cease;
‘Tis music in the sinner’s ears,
‘Tis life, and health, and peace.

3
He breaks the pow’r of reigning sin,
And sets the pris’ner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean;
His blood availed for me.

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