Oh for a thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemer’s praise,
The glories of my God and king,
The triumphs of His grace.
He breaks the pow’r of canceled sin,
He sets the pris’ner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean,
His blood availed for me.
My gracious Master and my God,
Assist me to proclaim,
To spread through all the earth abroad
The honors of Thy name.
