PRAISE TO THE REDEEMER.

1 O For a thousand tongues to sing
My dear 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 calms our fears,
That bids our sorrows cease;
"Tis music in the sinner's ears;
"Tis life, and health, and peace.
4 He breaks the power of reigning sin,
He sets the prisoner free;

His blood can make the foulest clean;
His blood avail'd for me.

5 Let us obey, we then shall know,
Shall feel our sins forgiven;
Anticipate our heaven below,
And own that love is heaven.

Take away this stony heart.

Tempts me to pride, or to despair;
Oh, in me, Lord, thy power exert,
And take away this stony heart.
