FOR a thousand tongues to sing My great Redeemer's praise ! The triumphs of his grace! Assist me to proclaim, The honours of thy name. That bids our sorrows cease ; "Tis music in the sinner's ears, 'Tis life, and health, and peace. He sets the pris'ner free; His blood avail'd for me. 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. SECOND PART. LOOK unto him, ye nations; own Your God, ye fallen race ; Be justified by grace. The Lamb of God was slain : For every soul of man.

On the bloody tree behold him! Hear him cry before he dies, “It is finish'd !” Sinners, will not this suffice ? 6 Lo! th' incarnate God ascending, Pleads the merit of his blood; Venture on him, venture freely ; Let no other trust intrude : None but Jesus Can do helpless sinners good. 7 Saints and angels, join'd in concert, Sing the praises of the Lamb, While the blissful seats of heaven Sweetly echo with his name : Hallelujah! Sinners here may do the same. 3 Forest-p. 76.] L. M. Let every soul be Jesus' guest : 2 Sent by my Lord, on you I call; Come, all the world! come, sinner, thou! 3 Come, all ye souls by sin oppress'd, Ye 4 My message as from God receive; 5 His love is mighty to compel; And freely now be saved by grace! 4 Benevento-p. 222.] 7th P.
