Oh for a thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemer’s praise,
The glories of my God and King,
The triumphs of His grace.
Chorus:
Oh Christians, praise Him,
Methinks I hear the gospel sounding
For more volunteers.
Jesus, the name that calms my fears,
That bids my sorrow cease;
’Tis music in the sinner’s ears;
’Tis life and health and peace.
(Chorus)
My gracious Master and my God,
Assist me to proclaim,
To spread through all the earth abroad
The honors of Thy name.
My great Redeemer’s praise,
The glories of my God and King,
The triumphs of His grace.
Chorus:
Oh Christians, praise Him,
Methinks I hear the gospel sounding

Jesus, the name that calms my fears,
That bids my sorrow cease;

’Tis life and health and peace.
(Chorus)
My gracious Master and my God,
Assist me to proclaim,
To spread through all the earth abroad
The honors of Thy name.
