Hymns using same tune:

Tune 2: #197, #200 (Tune 1)

 

 1  O for a thousand tongues to sing

       My great Redeemer's 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 honors of Thy name.

 

 3  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.

 

 4  His love my heart has captive made,

       His captive would I be,

    For He was bound, and scourged and died,

       My captive soul to free.

 

 5  He breaks the power of canceled sin,

       He sets the prisoner free;

    His blood can make the foulest clean;

       His blood availed for me.

 

 6  So now Thy blessed Name I love,

       Thy will would e'er be mine.

    Had I a thousand hearts to give,

       My Lord, they all were Thine!
