|
<p>O that I had a thousand voices<br>
|
|
And with a thousand tongues could tell<br>
|
|
Of Him in Whom the earth rejoices<br>
|
|
Who all things wisely does and well!<br>
|
|
My grateful heart would then be free<br>
|
|
To tell what God has done for me.</p>
|
|
<p>Ye forest leaves, so green and tender,<br>
|
|
That dance for joy in summer air;<br>
|
|
Ye meadow grasses, bright and slender,<br>
|
|
Ye flowers, so wondrous sweet and fair,<br>
|
|
That live to show His praise alone,<br>
|
|
Help me to make His glory known.</p>
|
|
<p>Ye creatures that have breath and motion,<br>
|
|
That fill with life, earth, sea and sky,<br>
|
|
O join me in my heart’s devotion,<br>
|
|
As I exalt the Lord most high:<br>
|
|
My utmost powers can ne’er aright<br>
|
|
Declare the wonders of His might.</p>
|
|
<p>O Father, deign Thou, I beseech Thee,<br>
|
|
To listen to my earthly lays;<br>
|
|
A nobler strain in heav’n shall reach Thee<br>
|
|
When I with angels hymn Thy praise,<br>
|
|
And learn amid their choirs to sing<br>
|
|
Loud hallelujahs to my King.</p>
