What about:
Souls of men, why do you scatter
like a crowd of frightened sheep?
Foolish hearts, why do you wander
from a love so true and deep.

You got it, Trainfan. Over to you. Strange that everytime it was back in our alphabet, it became recognisable. Very odd.

Yes, it does do that sometimes. In your case it was the “Souls” that gave it away!
This shouldn’t be too hard, especially if you’re a Methodist:
Maybe you should care about the blood Redeemer! He died for me? Cause of the pain! Me? Followed by death?

As Barack Obama (or Builder Ben) might say: "Yes, it can!" Well done.
And can it be that I should gain
An interest in the Saviour’s blood?
Died He for me, who caused His pain —
For me, who Him to death pursued?

My absolute #1 favourite protty hymn. Stirring. I actually preached a sermon on it once. "Interest" in the second line means not that you find it interesting, but the banking sense, as in if you own 50% of the stock you have a "controlling interest" -- but if you only own .01% you still have an "interest," a stake, a share.
Great hymn.
And the music fits it better than "O For A Thousand Tongues" which sounds like the lyricist and the composer only met once, for lunch, and the lyricist forgot to bring the words.

I tried to do "This is my Father's World" but I could not get rid of the first line no matter how many languages I stuck it through. That's a resilient phrase!
Anyway here goes. The biggest clue is in the last line.
In my life, living
O God give you
And my days in my time
So that they flow continually praise

All my hope on God is founded;
He doth still my trust renew,
Me through change and chance He guideth,
Only good and only true.
God unknown, He alone
Calls my heart to be His own.
Although I feel bad as that clearly should have gone to a Lutheran.

Actually that was partly my mistake I recognised it as one of the great German hymns but did not realise Joachim Neander was Reformed not Lutheran!
Any way here is one to be going on with:
quote:
Job all journeys of life,
is in trouble, and with joy,
praise my God is always
in my heart and tongue.
English ->French -> Hindi -> Icelandic -> Macedonian -> English
By the way I learnt that if you don't put the lines in Google translates mangles it quicker.

I either get them or I don't immediately. Sometimes if I know the hymn but don't recognise it I will get the feeling I know it, and then very rarely can prompt it to mind but normally it is absolutely useless me going away to ponder the words here. That is why I can be so quick.

High cross, the love of Christ, the prayers of the world was lifted to declare holy name! And the Christians here, and then went to the king won the Lord, if Christ is the Son of God:
This is via English->Indonesian -> Estonian -> Japanese ->Fillipino -> Greek -> English. It should not be too hard though maybe less familiar, although it is still a classic in Mission Praise.

Interesting you all picked up on "breathe" -- the text was so badly mangled, I'm not sure where "breathe" came from! Here's how it turns out if you stop at English-German-Greek-Swahili:
Ah, holy Jesus, how you have no doubt, that the person you hate to judge a tat;
maskhara from the enemies and rejected you, o affected.
I'll bet you'll get it now.

Right. Here's another old chestnut that took awhile to mangle, but once Google starting mangling it, it really took a beating:
Love the Lord with my hands
And I direct to my position.
I was bored, I put my weakness.
Storms during the night, so I go light.
And the hands of God I have made up my house.
