Where? Words And Music For An Old Hymn, Translated From Tersteegen, “a Thousand, A Thousand Thanksgivings” ?
Filed in Category - Old Church Hymns
Please help! I’d like to use it in a church service and can’t find it anywhere! Many thanks if you find it for me! Part of it goes something like:
“For me was Thy suffering and anguish,
that I might for ever go free;
a thousand, a thousand thanksgivings,
I bring, my Lord Jesus, to Thee.”

Very hard question!
“Thou life of my life, blessed Jesus,
Thou death of the death that was mine,
For me was Thy cross and Thine anguish,
Thy love and Thy sorrow divine;
Thou suffered the cross and the torment,
That I might forever go free
A thousand, a thousand thanksgivings,
I bring, blessed Saviour to Thee.”
There are three references to this hymn on google – the only web site which has more info is corrupted and I cannot open the pdf file. UPLOOK is the site. God bless you – the man was a very deeply spiritual Christians.
HE opened the gate for me:
Thou Life of my life, blessed Jesus,
Thou death of the death that was mine,
For me was Thy cross and Thine anguish,
Thy love and Thy sorrow divine;
Thou suffered the cross and the torment,
That I might forever go free—
A thousand, a thousand thanksgivings,
I bring, blessed Saviour, to Thee!
For me Thou hast borne the reproaches,
The mockery, hate and disdain;
The blows and the spittings of sinners,
The scourging, the shame, and the pain;
To save me from bondage and judgment,
Thou gladly hast suffered for me—
A thousand, a thousand thanksgivings,
I bring, blessed Saviour, to Thee!
O Lord, from my heart I do thank Thee
For all Thou hast borne in my room,
Thine agony, dying, unsolaced,
Alone in the darkness of doom,
That I, in the glory of heaven,
Forever and ever might be—
A thousand, a thousand thanksgivings,
I bring, blessed Saviour, to Thee!
