O that I had a thousand voices!

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #62 (1918) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 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.

When Sinners See Their Lost Condition

Author: M. B. Landstad, 1802-80; O. H. Smeby, 1851-1929 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #111 (1996) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 When sinners see their lost condition And feel the pressing load of sin, And Jesus cometh on His mission To heal the sin-sick heart within, All grief must flee before His grace, And joy divine will take its place. 2 When Jesus enters meek and lowly To fill the home with sweetest peace; When hearts have felt His blessing holy And found from sin complete release; Then light and calm within shall reign And hearts divided love again. 3 When Jesus enters land and nation, And moves the people with His love; When, yielding to His kind persuasion, Our hearts His truth and blessing prove, Then shall our life on earth be blest, The peace of God on us shall rest. 4 When Jesus comes, O blessed story! He works a change in heart and life; God's kingdom comes with pow'r and glory To young and old, to man and wife; Through Sacrament and living Word Faith, love, and hope are now conferred. 5 Then stilled are cries and lamentation, Then loosed is Satan's ev'ry band, In death is hope and consolation, The soul is safe in Jesus' hand: When we shall walk through death's dark vale, His rod and staff shall never fail. 6 Oh may He soon to ev'ry nation Find entrance where He is unknown, With life and light and full salvation, That heathendom may be o'erthrown, And healing to the hearts may come In heathen land and Christian home! 7 Behold, He at the door is knocking! Hark, how He pleads our souls to win! Who hears His voice--the door unlocking-- To sup with him He enters in. How blest the day, my soul, how blest When Jesus comes to be thy guest. 8 Behold, He at the door is calling, O heed, my soul, what He doth say; Deny Him not--O thought appalling-- And turn Him hot from thee away. My soul gives answer deep within: Thou blessed of the Lord, come in. 9 Come Thou who spreadest joy and gladness, Forever bide with me and mine, And bring to those who sit in sadness And gloom of death Thy light divine. A voice comes from my soul within: Thou blessed of the Lord, come in! Topics: Rejoice; Advent 4 Languages: English Tune Title: WER WEISS, WIE NAHE

Now I have found the sure foundation

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #217 (1893) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 NOW I have found the sure foundation, Where evermore my anchor grounds! It lay there ere the world's creation, Where else, but in my Saviour's wounds? Foundation, which unmoved shall stay, When earth and heaven pass away. 2 It is that mercy never ending, Which all conception far transcends, Of Him, who, with love's arms extending, To wretched sinners condescends; Whose heart with pity still doth break, Whether we seek Him, or forsake. 3 Our ruin God has not intended, Salvation He would fain bestow; For this the Son to earth descended, And then to heaven again did go; For this so loudly evermore He knocketh at our heart's closed door. 4 O depth of love, in which past finding, My sins through Christ's blood disappear; This is for wounds the safest binding, There is no condemnation here; For Jesus' blood through earth and skies Forever Mercy! Mercy! cries. 5 I never will forget this crying, In faith I'll trust it all my days, And, when o'er all my sins I'm sighing, I towards my Father's heart will gaze; For there is always to be found Free mercy without end and bound. 6 Though I be robbed of every pleasure That soul and body can make glad, Bereft of every earthly treasure, Forlorn, forsaken, lone and sad: However far His help may be, Her mercy yet is left to me. 7 If earthly cares and want oppress me, And cause me sorrow and regret That things so vain can still distress me, And give me so much trouble yet: Though I am bowed down to the dust, Still in His mercy I will trust. 8 If in the best of all my actions, In works that are admired the most, I must perceive great imperfections, I surely have no right to boast; Yet this sweet comfort doth abide: In mercy only I confide. 9 Be it with me as He is willing, Whose mercy is a boundless sea; May He Himself my heart be stilling, That this may ne'er forgotten be; Then it will rest, in joy and woe, On mercy, while it beats below. 10 On this foundation I unshrinking Will stand, while I on earth remain; This shall engage my acting, thinking, While I the breath of life retain; Then I will sing eternally, Unfathomed Mercy, still of Thee.

By Grace I'm Saved

Author: C. L Scheidt, 1709-61 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #226 (1996) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 First Line: By grace I'm saved, grace free and boundless Lyrics: 1 By grace I'm saved, grace free and boundless; My soul, believe and doubt it not. Why stagger at this word of promise? Hath Scripture ever falsehood taught? Nay; then this word must true remain; By grace thou, too, shalt heav'n obtain. 2 By grace! None dare lay claim to merit; Our works and conduct have no worth. God in His love sent our Redeemer, Christ Jesus, to this sinful earth; His death did for our sins atone, And we are saved by grace alone. 3 By grace! O mark this word of promise When thou art by thy sins opprest, When Satan plagues thy troubled conscience, And when thy heart is seeking rest. What reason cannot comprehend God by His grace to thee doth send. 4 By grace God's Son, our only Savior, Came down to earth to bear our sin. Was it because of thine own merit That Jesus died thy soul to win? Nay, it was grace, and grace alone, That brought Him from His heav'nly throne. 5 By grace! This ground of faith is certain; So long as God is true, it stands. What saints have penned by inspiration, What in His Word our God commands, What our whole faith must rest upon, Is Grace alone, grace in His Son. 6 By grace! But think not, thou who livest Securely on in godless ways, That thou--though all are called--recevest The promised rest that wakes our praise. No one will find in heav'n a place Who loves to sin and scorns God's grace. 7 By grace! They who have heard this sentence Must bid hypocrisy farewell; For only after true repentance The soul what grace imports can tell: To sin God's grace a trifle seems, To faith it bright with glory beams. 8 By grace to timid hearts that tremble, In tribulation's furnace tried-- By grace, despite all fear and trouble, The Father's heart is open wide. Where could I help and strength secure If grace were not my anchor sure? 9 By grace! On this I'll rest when dying; In Jesus' promise I rejoice; For though I know my heart's condition, I also know my Savior's voice. My heart is glad, all grief has flown Since I am saved by grace alone. 10 By grace! Sin, death, and Satan hearken! I bear my flag of faith in hand And pass--for doubts my joy can't darken-- The Red Sea to the Promised Land. I cling to what my Savior taught And trust it, whether felt or not.

By grace I'm saved, grace free and boundless!

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #311 (1918) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 By grace I'm saved, grace free and boundless! My heart, believ'st thou this or not? Why trembliest thou with terror groundless? Has Scripture e'er a falsehood taught? Then this word also true must be: By grace there is a crown for thee. 2 By grace! our works are all rejected, All claims of merit pass for naught; The mighty Savior, long expected, To us this blissful truth has brought, That He by death redeems our race, And we are saved alone by grace. 3 By grace! mark well these words' true meaning, When thou dost sorrow sin-oppressed, When Satan threats with pride o'erweening, When troubled conscience sighs for rest; What reason ne'er can comprehend It pleases God by grace to send. 4 By grace His Son, on earth appearing, Vouchsafed beneath thy woe to bend; Hadst thou, damnation justly fearing, Done aught to render Him thy friend? Was't not that He thy welfare sought, And but by grace deliverance wrought? 5 By grace! this ground of our salvation, As long as God is true, endures: What saints have penned by inspiration, What God by His own Word assures, What all our faith must rest upon, Is grace, free grace, through His dear Son. 6 By grace! but think not, thou who livest Securely on in godless ways, That thou,--though all are called,--receivest The promised rest that wakes our praise; By grace none find in heaven a place Who live in sin in hope of grace. 7 By grace! they who have heard this sentence Must bid hypocrisy farewell; For only after deep repentance The soul what grace imports can tell, To sin while grace a trifle seems, To faith it bright with glory beams. 8 By grace the timid hearts that languish, Find access to the Father's heart, When conflicts fierce and bitter anguish Bid all their joy and hopes depart. Where, ofttimes, should I strength obtain, Did grace my anchor not remain! 9 By grace! on this in death I'll rest me, Rejoicing e'en though feeling naught; I know my sin--it oft oppressed me-- But Him, too, who salvation brought My heart exults, grief flees apace, Because my soul is saved by grace. 10 By grace! may sin and Satan hearken! I bear my flag of faith in hand, And pass--for doubts my joy can't darken-- The Red Sea to the Promised Land. I cling to what my Savior taught, And trust it, whether felt or not.
