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. |

His love my heart has captive made, His captive would I be, For He was bound, and scourged and died, My captive soul to free. |

He breaks the power of canceled sin, He sets the prisoner free; His blood can make the foulest clean; His blood availed for me. |

The music of “O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing, ” is old “Azmon” by Carl Glasër. He was born on May 4, 1784 in Weibenfels, Germany and died August 16, 1824 in Barmen, Germany. He received his musical training from his father (a composer and cantor of the town church). His father was Carl Ludwig T. Glaezer and his mother Marie Amalie Ziesche.
In 1813-1814 Glasër served as a volunteer in the Napoleonic Wars. In 1815 he became music director in Barmen where he also taught piano and violin. Carl was well known for his writings, conducting, and choral music.

I wish I could sing this hymn when we all get to heaven.
Hear ye deaf, his praise ye dumb
Your lossen tongues employe,
Ye blind behold your saviour come,
And leap ye lame for Joy.

On the third verse of this old hymn, I strongly think it should replace the word “charms” with CALMS. “Jesus the name that calms our fears and and bids our sorrows cease! ”
Charms is seemingly an enticement of evil. Jesus calms us, for He is the Master over all our storms.
