My gracious Master and my God,

Assist me to proclaim, 

       G                                 Em

To spread through all the earth abroad

The honors of Thy name.

 

 

      G                          

He breaks the power of canceled sin, 

                                    D/F#

He sets the prisoner free; 

       G                                Em

His blood can make the foulest clean,

His blood availed for me.

New life the dead receive, 

        G                         Em

The mournful, broken hearts rejoice, 

        C                      G

The humble poor believe.

​

 

    G                          

Jesus, the Name that charms our fears 

                                     D/F#

That bids our sorrows cease;

       G                  Em

'Tis music in the sinner's ears,

       C                                G

'Tis life, and health, and peace.

 

 

       G                          

See all your sins on Jesus laid 

                                      D/F#

The Lamb of God was slain, 

       G                           Em

His soul was once an offering made 

       C                  G

For every soul in pain.

 

 

      G                          

Glory to God, and praise and love 

                        D/F#

Be ever, ever given, 

       G                        Em

By saints below and saints above, 

       C                                G

The church in earth and heaven.

 

 

    G                          

O for a thousand tongues to sing

My great Redeemer’s praise,

       G                     Em

The glories of my God and King,

The triumphs of His grace.
