O That I Had A Thousand Voices [#OThatIHadAThousandVoices #ThatIHadAThousandVoices #HadAThousandVoices #AThousandVoices #ThousandVoices]
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
