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 honours 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.

He breaks the power of cancell'd sin, He sets the prisoner free;

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

5 He speaks, and listening to his voice, New life the dead receive;

The mournful, broken hearts rejoice; The humble poor believe.

6 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.

7 Look unto him, ye nations; own Your God, ye fallen race;

Look, and be saved through faith alone, Be justified by grace.

8 See all your sins on Jesus laid: The Lamb of God was slain: His soul was once an offering made For every soul of man.

9 Awake from guilty nature's sleep, And Christ shall give you light,

Cast all your sins into the deep, And wash the Ethiop white.

10 With me, your chief, ye then shall know. Shall feel, your sins forgiven; Anticipate your heaven below, And own that love is heaven.

HYMN 2.

L. M.

COME

YOME, sinners, to the Gospel feast, Let every soul be Jesu's guest; Ye need not one be left behind,

For God hath bidden all mankind.

2 Sent by my Lord, on you I call; The invitation is to ALL:

Come, all the world; come, sinner, thou;

All things in Christ are ready now.

3 Come, all ye souls by sin opprest,

Ye restless wanderers after rest,

Ye poor, and maim'd, and halt, and blind, In Chr a hearty welcome find.

4 Come, and partake the gospel feast Be saved from sin; in Jesus rest: O taste the goodness of your God, And eat his flesh, and drink his blood!
