Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #742b (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O for a thousand tongues, to sing
my dear Redeemer's praise,
the glories of my God and King,
the triumphs of his grace!
2 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.
3 He breaks the power of cancelled sin,
he sets the prisoner free:
his blood can make the foulest clean;
his blood availed for me.
4 He speaks; and, listening to his voice,
new life the dead receive,
the mournful broken hearts rejoice,
the humble poor believe.
5 Hear him, ye deaf; his praise, ye dumb,
your loosened tongues employ;
ye blind, behold your Saviour come;
and leap, ye lame, for joy!
6 My gracious Master and my God,
assist me to proclaim
and spread through all the earth abroad
the honours of thy name. Topics: Children and All-Age Worship; Deliverance; Jesus Name; Praise; Proper 18 Year B; Proper 23 Year C; Proper 25 Year B; Sin; The Sixth Sunday of Easter Year C; The Third Sunday of Epiphany Year C Scripture: Luke 24:47-48 Languages: English Tune Title: LYNGHAM
