1.O for a thousand tongues to sing my great Redeemer's praise, 
     G             C                 G          D7    G       
the glories of my God and King, the triumphs of his grace! 

  G            D      G           D  G     D7      D 
2.My gracious Master and my God, assist me to proclaim, 
     G                      C               G        D7   G 
to spread through all the earth abroad the honors of thy name.

3.Jesus! the name that charms our fears, that bids our sorrows cease; 
      G            C                  G                 D7   G 
'tis music in the sinner's ears,'tis life, and health, and peace.

4.He breaks the power of canceled sin, he sets the prisoner free; 
      G                 C                   G           D7  G 
his blood can make the foulest clean; his blood availed for me.

      G                C                  G           D7  G 
the mournful, broken hearts rejoice, the humble poor believe.

6.Hear him, ye deaf; his praise, ye dumb, your loosened tongues employ; 
     G                 C                 G           D7   G 
ye blind, behold your Savior come, and leap, ye lame for joy.
