Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #92 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Rejoicing Lyrics: 1 O for a thousand tongues to sing
my dear Redeemer's praise,
my dear Redeemer's praise;
the glories of my God and King,
the triumphs of his grace,
the triumphs of his grace,
the triumphs of his grace,
the triumphs of his grace!
2 My gracious Master and my God,
assist me to proclaim,
assist me to proclaim;
to spread through all the earth abroad
the honors of thy name,
the honors of thy name,
the honors of thy name,
the honors of thy name.
3 Jesus, the name that charms our fears,
that bids our sorrows cease,
that bids our sorrows cease;
'tis music in the sinner's ears,
'tis life and health and peace,
'tis life and health and peace,
'tis life and health and peace,
'tis life and health and peace.
4 He breaks the power of canceled sin;
he sets the pris'ner free,
he sets the pris'ner free;
his blood can make the foulest clean,
his blood availed for me,
his blood availed for me,
his blood availed for me,
his blood availed for me.
5 He speaks, and listening to his voice,
new life the dead receive,
new life the dead receive;
the mournful, broken hearts rejoice;
The humble poor believe,
The humble poor believe,
The humble poor believe,
The humble poor believe.
6 In Christ, your head, you then shall know,
shall feel your sins forgiven,
shall feel your sins forgiven;
anticipate your heaven below,
and own that love is heaven,
and own that love is heaven,
and own that love is heaven,
and own that love is heaven. Languages: English Tune Title: LYNGHAM
