[Music]
O for a thousand tongues to sing,
My great Redeemer's praise!
The glories of my God and King,
The triumphs of his grace,
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,
The honors of thy name.
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,
'Tis life and health and peace.
Charles Wesley wrote the words. William Hauser, _Hesperian Harp_
compiler, claims the tune. For melodic similarities in other spiritual
songs see 'One More River to Cross', in this collection; 'Cherry Tree
Carol', Sharp, i., 92 and 93; and 'Geordie', Sharp, i., 240.
