Oh, that I Had a Thousand Voices
Author: Johann Mentzer, 1658-1734 Hymnal: Lutheran Worship #448 (1982) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O, that I had a thousand voices
To praise my God with thousand tongues!
My heart, which in the Lord rejoices,
Would then proclaim in grateful songs
To all, wherever I might be,
What great things God has done for me.
2 O all you pow'rs that he implanted,
Arise, keep silence now no more;
Put forth the strength that God has granted!
Your noblest work is to adore.
O soul and body, join to raise
With heartfelt joy our maker's praise.
3 You forest leaves so green and tender
That dance for joy in summer air,
You meadow grasses, bright and slender,
You flow'rs so fragrant and so fair,
You live to show God's praise alone.
Join me to make his glory known.
4 All creatures that have breath and motion,
That throng the earth, the sea, the sky,
Come, share with me my heart's devotion,
Help me to sing God's praises high.
My utmost pow'rs can never quite
Declare the wonders of his might.
5 Creator, humbly I implore you
To listen to my earthly song
Until that day when I adore you,
When I have joined the angel throng
And learned with choirs of heaven to sing
Eternal anthems to my king.

Oh that I had a thousand voices
O That I Had a Thousand Voices
Author: Johann Mentzer; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5369 Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 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. Languages: English Tune Title: O DASS ICH TAUSEND ZUNGEN

Now I Have Found the Firm Foundation
Author: Johann A. Rothe Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4625 Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. Now I have found the firm foundation
Which holds mine anchor ever sure;
’Twas laid before the world’s creation
In Christ my Savior’s wounds secure;
Foundation which unmoved shall stay
When Heav’n and earth will pass away.
2. It is that mercy never ending
Which human wisdom far transcends,
Of Him who, loving arms extending,
To wretched sinners condescends;
Whose heart with pity still doth break
Whether we seek Him or forsake.
3. Our ruin God hath not intended,
For our salvation He hath yearned;
For this His Son to earth descended
And then to Heav’n again returned;
For this so patient evermore
He knocketh at our heart’s closed door.
4. O depth of love, to me revealing
The sea where my sins disappear!
In Christ my wounds find perfect healing,
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,
Into the Father’s heart I’ll gaze;
For there is always to be found
Free mercy without end and bound.
6. Though I be robbed of every pleasure
That makes my soul and body glad
And be deprived of earthly treasure
And be forsaken, lone, and sad,
Though my desire for help seem vain,
His mercy shall with me remain.
7. Though earthly trials should oppress me
And cares from day to day increase;
Though earth’s vain things should sore distress me
And rob me of my Savior’s peace;
Though I be brought down to the dust,
Still in His mercy I will trust.
8. When all my deeds I am reviewing,
The deeds that I admire the most,
I find in all my thought and doing
That there is naught whereof to boast.
Yet this sweet comfort shall abide—
In mercy I can still confide.
9. Let mercy cause me to be willing
To bear my lot and not to fret.
While He my restless heart is stilling,
May I His mercy not forget!
Come weal, come woe, my heart to test,
His mercy is my only rest.
10. I’ll stand upon this firm foundation
As long as I on earth remain;
This shall engage my meditation
While I the breath of life retain;
And then, when face to face with Thee,
I’ll sing of mercy, great and free. Languages: English Tune Title: O DASS ICH TAUSEND ZUNGEN

Baptized into Your Name Most Holy
Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1829-1878; Johann J. Rambach Hymnal: The New Century Hymnal #324 (1995) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Baptized into your name most holy,
O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
I claim a place, though weak and lowly,
Among your seed, your chosen host.
Buried with Christ and dead to sin,
I have your Spirit now within.
2 My loving Father, here you take me
henceforth to be your child and heir;
My faithful Savior, here you make me
The fruit of all your sorrows share;
O Holy Ghost, you comfort me
though threatening clouds around I see.
3 My faithful God, you never fail me;
your covenant surely will abide.
Let not eternal death assail me
should I transgress it on my side!
Have mercy when I come defiled;
forgive, lift up, restore your child.
4 All that I am and love most dearly,
receive it all, O God, from me.
Oh, let me make my vows sincerely,
and help me your own child to be!
Let nothing that I am or own
serve any will but yours alone. Topics: Consecration; Discipleship; Holy Baptism; The Holy Trinity; Year A Proper 11; Year B Trinity Sunday; Year C Pentecost Scripture: Matthew 28:19 Languages: English Tune Title: O DASS ICH TUASEND ZUNGEN HÄTTE
