"O for a thousand tounges to sing"
by Charles Wesley, 1739
My Great Redeemers 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 Thy name.
3. Jesus! the name that charms our fears,
That bids our sorrows cease;
'Tis music in the sinners ears,
'Tis life, and health, and peace.
4. He breaks the power of canceled sin,
He set the prisoner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean,
His blood availed for me.
5. He speaks, and, listening to His voice,
New life the dead receive,
The mornful, broken hearts rejoice,
The humble poor believe.
6. In Christ your Head, you then shall know,
Shall feel your sins forgiven;
Anticipate your heaven below;
And own that love is heaven.
7. Glory to God, and praise and love
Be ever, ever given
By saints below and saints above,
The church in earth and heaven
8. Murders and all ye hellish crew
In holy triumph rise!
Believe the Saviour died for you;
For me the Saviour died.
9. With me, your chief, ye then shall know,
Shall feel your sins forgiven;
Anticipate your heaven below,
And own that love is heaven.
