O for a Thousand Tongues Songtext
von GLAD

O 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 your name.

Jesus! the name that calms our fears,
That bids our sorrows cease;
Your name is music in our ears,
'Tis life, and health, and peace.
Life, and health, and peace.


He breaks the power of canceled sin,
You set the prisoner free;
Your blood can make the foulest clean;
And it was shed for me.

You speak and when we hear your voice,
New life the dead receive;
The mournful, broken hearts rejoice,
The humble poor believe.

Hear him, and sing you deaf and dumb,
Our fold has been destroyed
Blind men behold your savior come,
And leap, you lame, for joy. Joy

O for a thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemer's praise,
The glories of my God and King,
The triumphs of his grace!

O for a thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemer's praise,
The glories of my God and King,
The triumphs of his grace!


O for a thousand tongues to sing
