O For A Thousand Tongues to Sing

Japanese Lyrics - 世にあるかぎり

世にあるかぎりの　ことばをもて

恵みの勝利を　たたえて歌わん

恵みのみ神よ、　きよきみ名を

伝うるわれらを　導きたまえ

恐れをとり去り、　罪をゆるし

救いをもたらす　主イエスのみ名よ

暗きの力を　やぶりて主は、

血をもてわれらを解きはなちたもう

まことのみことば　語りて主は、

死にたる心を　生かしたまえり

「栄えはみ神に、　今ものちも」

生徒らよ、教会よ、歌いて祝え.

English Lyrics - O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing

Oh, for a thousand tongues to sing My great Redeemer’s praise, The glories of my God and king, The triumphs of His grace!

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

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 pow’r of canceled sin, He sets the pris’ner free; His blood can make the foulest clean, His blood availed for me.

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

Glory to God, and praise and love Be ever, ever giv’n By saints below and saints above, The church in earth and heav’n.
