  • Oh, for a thousand tongues to sing
    My great Redeemer's praise
    The glories of my God and King
    The triumphs of His grace

    My gracious Master and my God
    Assist me to proclaim
    To spread through all the earth abroad
    The honors of Thy name

    So come on and sing out
    Let our anthem grow loud
    There is one great love
    Jesus

    Jesus, the name that charms our fears
    That bids our sorrows cease
    'Tis music in the sinner's ears
    'Tis life and health and peace

    He breaks the power of canceled sin
    He sets the prisoners free
    His blood can make the foulest clean
    His blood availed for me

    He speaks and listening to His voice
    New life the dead receive
    The mournful broken hearts rejoice
    The humble poor believe

    Glory to God and praise and love
    Be ever, ever giv'n
    By saints below and saints above
    The church in earth and Heav'n

    There are so few words
    That never grow old
    There are so few words
    That never grow old
