Lyrics:

O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing

Charles Wesley 1707-88
Tune: Lyngham, Thomas Jarman 1776-1861, Sacred Music 1803
violin, clarinet, bass, steel-string guitar, side drum, bass drum, cymbals

O for a thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemer's praise,
The glories of my God and King,
The triumphs of his grace!

My gracious Master and my God,
Assist me to proclaim,
To spread through all the earth abroad
The honour of thy name.

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.

He speaks, and listening to his voice,
New life the dead receive;
The mournful, broken hearts rejoice,
The humble poor believe.

He breaks the power of cancelled sin,
He sets the prisoner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean;
His blood availed for me.

See all your sins on Jesus' name
The lamb of God was slain
He so was once and often maimed
For every soul on Earth.
