O That I Had a Thousand Voices
Author: Johann Mentzer; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O that I had a thousand voices
And with a thousand tongues could tell
Of Him in whom the earth rejoices
Who all things wisely does and well!
My grateful heart would then be free
To tell what God has done for me.
2. 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,
That live to show His praise alone,
Help me to make His glory known.
3. Ye creatures that have breath and motion,
That fill with life, earth, sea and sky,
O join me in my heart’s devotion,
As I exalt the Lord most high:
My utmost powers can ne’er aright
Declare the wonders of His might.
4. O Father, deign Thou, I beseech Thee,
To listen to my earthly lays;
A nobler strain in Heav’n shall reach Thee
When I with angels hymn Thy praise,
And learn amid their choirs to sing
Loud hallelujahs to my King. Used With Tune: O DASS ICH TAUSEND ZUNGEN

O Lord, Thou Living Bread From Heaven
Author: H. Brueckner Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. O Lord, Thou living Bread from heaven,
With hungry soul I come to Thee;
Thy flesh and blood, here freely given,
Are meat and drink indeed for me.
Lord Jesus, let this precious food
Redound to my eternal good.
2. May I at Thy communion table
Be welcomed as a worthy guest;
Do Thou by grace my soul enable
Devoutly, Lord, in Thee to rest.
Lord Jesus, let this precious food
Redound to my eternal good.
3. Unworthy as a sinful being,
I turn to Thee, my Shepherd true;
Thy straying lamb in danger seeing,
Thou wilt Thy love for me renew.
Lord Jesus, let this precious food
Redound to my eternal good.
4. As deadly poison help me banish
All wicked tho'ts that lurk within;
Bid ev'ry evil passion vanish,
And let me, Lord, be dead to sin.
Lord Jesus, let this precious food
Redound to my eternal good.
5 The curse of sin most deeply feeling,
I come to Thee for peace and rest;
To me Thy grace and mercy sealing,
O make me, Lord, Thy worthy guest.
Lord Jesus, let this precious food
Redound to my eternal good.
6 This Supper may in truth be rated
As Thy last will and testament;
It shows Thy love still unabated,
Though every day profusely spent.
Lord Jesus, let this precious food
Redound to my eternal good.
7 It is the best of all good treasure,
Of faith and hope the surest base,
The fount of purest joy and pleasure,
The pledge of God's unfathomed grace.
Lord Jesus, let this precious food
Redound to my eternal good.
8 This sacred feast brings wealth of rapture
To all who are contrite of heart,
And those whom Satan fain would capture
Are rescued when from life they part.
Lord Jesus, let this precious food
Redound to my eternal good.

God's Mighty Wonders
Author: Nils Frykman; Andrew L. Skoog; Andrew T. Frykman Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: Our mighty God works mighty wonders Lyrics: 1. Our mighty God works mighty wonders—
What joy, to seem them all around!
Men’s idols fall before His thunders,
Their altars crumbling to the ground.
He breaks the fetters, frees the slaves,
His fallen children still He saves.
2. His mighty Word goes forth to conquer,
Its power destroys the forts of doubt.
The warriors bold yield up their armor
To Him who will not cast them out.
They cleansing find in Jesus’ blood
And laud and magnify our God.
3. Behold the host of brethren nearing
The gates of Heav’n with mighty tread,
With banners waving, singing, cheering,
They hail in joy their Royal Head;
And many more shall own His reign,
His wondrous love the victory gain.
4. O God, be praised! the day is nearing,
When to our ears a voice shall come,
Look up, the Lord is now appearing,
To gather all His loved ones home!
O blessèd day of jubilee!
For thee I wait! I wait for thee! Used With Tune: CELEBRATION Text Sources: Sanningsvitnet, April 13, 1877
God's Mighty Wonders
If Thou but Suffer God to Guide Thee
Author: Georg Neumark; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 179 hymnals Lyrics: 1 If you but trust in God to guide you
and place your confidence in him,
you'll find him always there beside you
to give you hope and strength within;
for those who trust God's changeless love
build on the rock that will not move.
2 Only be still and wait his pleasure
in cheerful hope with heart content.
He fills your needs to fullest measure
with what discerning love has sent;
doubt not our inmost wants are known
to him who chose us for his own.
3 Sing, pray, and keep his ways unswerving,
offer your service faithfully,
and trust his word; though undeserving,
you'll find his promise true to be.
God never will forsake in need
the soul that trusts in him indeed.

If Thou but Suffer God to Guide Thee
O that I had a thousand voices!
Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 28 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O that I had a thousand voices!
A mouth to speak with thousand tongues!
My heart, which in the Lord rejoices,
Then would proclaim in grateful songs
To all, wherever I might be,
What great things God hath done for me.
2 O that my voice might high be sounding,
Far as the widely distant poles;
My blood run quick, with rapture bounding,
Long as its vital current rolls,
And every pulse thanksgiving raise,
And every breath a hymn of praise!
3 O all ye powers that God implanted,
Arise, keep silence thus no more,
Put forth the strength that He hath granted,
Your noblest work is to adore;
My soul and body, make ye meet
With heartfelt praise your Lord to greet!
4 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!
5 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.
6 Dear Father, endless praise I render
For soul and body strangely joined;
I praise Thee, Guardian kind and tender,
For all the noble joys I find
So richly spread on every side,
And freely for my use supplied.
7 What equal praises can I offer,
Dear Jesus, for Thy mercy shown?
What pangs, my Savior, didst Thou suffer,
And thus for all my sins atone!
Thy death alone my soul could free
From Satan, to be blest with Thee.
8 Honor and praise, still onward reaching,
Be Thine too, Spirit of all grace,
Whose holy power and faithful teaching
Give me among Thy saints a place:
Whate'er of good in me may shine
Comes only from Thy light divine.
9 Who grants abundant gifts to bless me?
Who, but Thyself, O God of love?
Who guards my ways lest fears oppress me?
'Tis Thou, Lord God of hosts, above!
And when my sins Thy wrath provoke,
Thy patience, Lord, forbears the stroke.
10 I kiss the rod, too, unrepining,
When God His chastening makes me feel,
My graces call for His refining,
The trial works no lasting ill:
It purifies and makes it known
That He regards me as a son.
11 In life I often have discovered,
With gratitude and glad surprise,
When clouds of sorrows o'er me hovered,
God sent from them my best supplies:
In troubles He is ever near,
And shows me all a Father's care.
12 Why not, then, with a faith unbounded,
Forever in His love confide?
Why not, with earthly griefs surrounded,
Rejoicing still in hope abide?
Until I reach that blissful home
Where doubt and sorrow never come?
13 No more low vanities regarding,
To Thee, in whom I find my rest,
I cry--my inmost soul according,--
"My God, Thou art the Highest, Best;
Strength, honor, praise, and thanks, and power
Be Thine, both now and evermore!"
14 Lord, I will tell, while I am living,
Thy goodness forth with every breath,
And greet each morning with thanksgiving,
Until my heart is still in death;
Yea, when at last my lips grow cold,
Thy praise shall in my sighs be told.
15 O Father, deign Thou, I beseech Thee,
To listen to my earthly lays;
A nobler strain in heav'n shall reach Thee,
When I with angels hymn Thy praise,
And learn amid their choirs to sing
Loud hallelujahs to my King. Topics: Praise

I Now Have Found for Hope of Heaven
Author: Johann A. Rothe; Henry Mills Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1. I now have found for hope of Heaven,
An anchor-ground that firm will hold;
’Twas through the cross of Jesus given,
By God appointed from of old;
A ground that shall enduring stay,
When earth and skies have passed away,
When earth and skies have passed away.
2. ’Tis God’s own mercy never ending;
Its measure all our thoughts exceeds;
While Jesus, too, His arms extending,
Whose heart for guilty sinners bleeds,
Now with compassion calls His foes
To flee from sin and endless woes,
To flee from sin and endless woes.
3. This love’s a deep, our follies hiding;
The death of Christ, a matchless grace,
To life and peace our spirits guiding,
Where wrath no more shall find a place;
His blood for us is pleading still,
Let mercy all its work fulfill,
Let mercy all its work fulfill!
4. Upon this ground I rest most firmly,
Long as the earth my dwelling prove;
And wish to serve my God and Savior,
Till, dying, I shall rise above,
And there, rejoicing, shall adore
Unbounded mercy evermore,
Unbounded mercy evermore. Used With Tune: MIR IST ERBARMUNG WIDERFAHREN Text Sources: Christ-Catholisches Singe- und Bet-Büchlein, by Nikolaus L. von Zinzendorf, 1727
I Now Have Found for Hope of Heaven
The word, O God, Like Dew Restoreth
Author: E. Boye; C. B. Garve Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Thy Word, O God, like dew, restoreth Lyrics: 1 Thy Word, O God, like dew, restoreth
My fainting soul to strength and peace,
And, as a balm, from heaven poureth
And gives my heart from pain surcease;
Oh, make this field of Jesus bear
The fruit of faith through Thy sweet care.
2 Thy Word, O God, like sword and arrow
Cuts through the sinful world's disguise
And piercing even bone and marrow,
Lays bare the heart before Thine eyes;
Let men before its power fall
And unto Thee for mercy call.
3 Thy Word is like the star of glory
That led the wise men on their way;
It tells the world the wondrous story
Of Him who is our Hope and Stay;
Let all behold this glorious star
And reach their home from lands afar.
