O would, my God, that I could praise Thee

Author: J. Mentzer Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #443 (1913) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Topics: The Church Year Twelfth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Twelfth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 O would, my God, that I could praise Thee With thousand tongues, by day and night! How many a song my lips should raise Thee, Who order'st all things here aright! My thankful heart would ever be Telling what God hath done for me. 2 O all ye powers that He implanted, Arise, keep silence thus no more, Put forth the strength that He hath granted, Your noblest work is to adore; O soul and body, make ye meet With heartfelt praise your Lord to greet. 3 Ye forest leaves so green and tender, That dance for joy in summer air; Ye meadow-grasses bright and slender, Ye flowers so wondrous sweet and fair; Ye live to show His praise alone, Help me to make His glory known. 4 O all things that have breath and motion; That throng with life, earth, sea, and sky, Now join me in my heart's devotion, Help me to raise His praises high. My utmost powers can ne'er aright Declare the wonders of His might. 5 But I will tell, while I am living, His goodness forth with every breath, And greet each morning with thanksgiving, Until my heart is still in death. Nay, when at last my lips grow cold, His praise shall in my sighs be told. O Father, deign Thou, I beseech Thee, To listen to my earthly lays; A nobler strain in heaven shall reach Thee, When I with angels hymn Thy praise, And learn amid their choirs to sing Loud Hallelujahs to my King. Tune Title: [O would, my God, that I could praise Thee]

Let meekness be our morning ray, And faithful love our noonday light, And hope our sunset, calm and bright. 7 O Christ, with each returning morn, Thine image to our hearts is borne; O may we ever clearly see Our Savior and our God in Thee!

Scheffler Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #445 (1913) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Topics: The Church Year Twelfth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Twelfth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Begone! vain world, with all thy pleasures, And keep thy joys far from my sight; In thee and in thy tempting treasure My soul no longer finds delight. The world may seek and love its own: I love my Jesus, Him alone. 2 He is my glory and my treasure, My wisdom and my soul's delight, In Him I find my sweetest pleasure And all my comfort day and night. The world may seek and love its own: I love my Jesus, Him alone. 3 In weakness He my strength abideth, He comforts me, when sad my lot; In gloom of death He light provideth, In death as life He fails me not. The world may seek and love its own: I love my Jesus, Him alone. 4 He rules on high, His throne shall never Like earthy empires pass away, His kingdom stands and grows forever, Till all creation owns His sway. The world may seek and love its own: I love my Jesus, Him alone. 5 He is the fairest--all excelling-- He whom the world refused to know, His riches are beyond all telling, And these He doth on me bestow. The world may seek and love its own: I love my Jesus, Him alone. 6 Now let me be despised, forsaken, And in a humble state remain, Soon I to glory shall be taken, And with my Savior ever reign. The world may seek and love its own: I love my Jesus, Him alone. Tune Title: [Begone! vain world, with all thy pleasures]
