O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing - CCS 92 - The Beyond the Walls Choir

O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing
O for a thousand tongues to sing
my dear Redeemer’s praise,
my dear Redeemer’s praise,
the glories of my God and King,
(men) the triumphs of his grace, (4x)
(women) the triumphs of his grace! (3x)
My gracious Master and my God,
assist me to proclaim,
assist me to proclaim,
to spread through all the earth abroad
(men) the honors of thy name, (4x)
(women) the honors of thy name.(3x)
Jesus, the name that charms our fears,
that bids our sorrows cease,
that bids our sorrows cease;
’tis music in the sinner’s ears,
(men) ’tis life and health and peace, (4x)
(women) ’tis life and health and peace. (3x)
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,
(men) his blood availed for me, (4x)
(women) his blood availed for me. (3x)
He speaks, and list’ning to his voice,
new life the dead receive,
new life the dead receive;
the mournful, broken hearts rejoice;
(men) the humble poor believe, (4x)
(women) the humble poor believe. (3x)
In Christ, your head, you then shall know,
shall feel your sins forgiven,
shall feel your sins forgiven;
anticipate your heav’n below,
(men) and own that love is heaven,(4x)
(women) and own that love is heaven. (3x)
