Verse 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!

Chorus
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Praise everlasting King.

Verse 2
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.

Chorus
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Praise everlasting King.

Verse 3
He breaks the power of cancell'd sin,
And sets the prisoner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean;
His blood avail'd for me.

Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Praise everlasting King.

He speaks; and, listening to His voice,
New life the dead receive;
The mournful broken hearts rejoice;
The humble poor believe.

Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Praise everlasting King.

Hear Him, ye deaf; His praise, ye dumb,
Your loosen'd tongues employ;
Ye blind, behold your Saviour come;
And leap, ye lame for joy!

Chorus
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Praise everlasting King.

Verse 6
My gracious Master and my God,
Assist me to proclaim
To spread through all the earth abroad
The honours of Thy name.

Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Praise everlasting King.
