Hymn 81

1. O for a thousand tongues to sing
   my great Redeemer’s praise,
   the glories of my God and King,
   the triumphs of his grace!
   
   
2. My gracious Master and my God,
   assist me to proclaim,
   to spread through all the earth abroad,
   the honours of your name.
   
   
3. The name of Jesus calms our fears
   and bids our sorrows cease;
   ’tis music to the sinner’s ears,
   ’tis life and health and peace.
   
   
4. He breaks the pow’r of reigning sin,
   he sets the pris’ner free;
   his blood can make the foulest clean;
   his blood avails for me.
   
   
5. He speaks, and, list’ning to his voice,
   new life the dead receive;
   the mournful broken hearts rejoice;
   the humble poor believe.
   
   
6. Hear him, you deaf; you voiceless ones,
   your loosened tongues employ;
   you blind, behold your Saviour come;
   and leap, you lame, for joy!
   
   
7. To God all glory, praise, and love
   be now and ever given
   by saints below and saints above,
   the church in earth and heaven.
