Oh, that I Had a Thousand Voices by Johann Mentzer, 1658-1734 1. Oh, 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 hath done for me. 2. 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. 3. I praise Thee, Savior, whose compassion Hath brought Thee down to ransom me; Thy pitying heart sought my salvation, Though keenest woes were heaped on Thee, Brought me from bondage full release, Made me Thine own and gave me peace. 4. Glory and praise, still onward reaching, Be Thine, O Spirit of all grace, Whose holy power and faithful teaching Give me among Thy saints a place! Whateer of good by me is done Is of Thy grace and light alone. 5. Shall I not, then, be filled with gladness? Shall I not praise Thee evermore And triumph over fear and sadness, Een when my cup of woe runs oer? Though heaven and earth shall pass away, Thy lovingkindness stands for aye.
