I'll Praise My Maker While I've Breath
Author: Isaac Watts; John Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 529 hymnals Topics: Comfort Lyrics: 1 I'll praise my Maker while I've breath;
and when my voice is lost in death,
praise shall employ my nobler powers.
My days of praise shall ne'er be past,
while life, and thought, and being last,
or immortality endures.
2 Happy are they whose hopes rely
on Israel's God, who made the sky
and earth and seas, with all their train;
whose truth for ever stands secure,
who saves th'oppressed and feeds the poor,
for none shall find God's promise vain.
3 The Lord pours eyesight on the blind;
the Lord supports the fainting mind
and sends the laboring conscience peace.
God helps the stranger in distress,
the widow and the fatherless,
and grants the prisoner sweet release.
4 I'll praise my God who lends me breath;
and when my voice is lost in death,
praise shall employ my nobler powers.
My days of praise shall ne'er be past,
while life, and thought, and being last,
or immortality endures. Scripture: Psalm 146 Used With Tune: OLD 113TH

Through grace He lifted me.

He lifted me,
With tender hand
He lifted me,
From shades of night to plains of light,
O praise His name,
He lifted me!
2 He called me long before I heard,
Before my sinful heart was stirred;
But when I took Him at His word,
Forgiv'n, He lifted me.[Chorus]
3 His brow was pierced with many a thorn,
His hands by cruel nails were torn,
When from my guilt and grief, forlorn,
In love He lifted me.[Chorus]
4 Now on a higher plane I dwell,
And with my soul I know 'tis well;
Yet how or why I cannot tell
He should have lifted me.[Chorus] Used With Tune: HE LIFTED ME

If God Himself Be For Me
Author: H. Brueckner; P. Gerhardt Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 44 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Cross and Comfort Lyrics: 1 If God Himself be for me
Who shall against me be?
His banner waving o'er me,
My foes in terror flee.
If God in Christ befriend me
And stay me with His arm,
The help that He doth lend me
Will keep me safe from harm.
2 My faith and hope are founded
On Jesus Christ alone;
He on the cross was wounded
That I a crown might own.
For what the world doth treasure
Will nevermore remain;
Thro' Christ in fullest measure
True riches I obtain.
3 In heaven there remaineth
A blissful rest for me,
A joy that never waneth,
A life from sorrow free.
Tho' tears I here be weeping
And bitter sorrows know,
I am in Jesus' keeping;
He sweetens all my woe.
4 My heart for joy is leaping,
It can no more be sad;
Is golden harvests reaping,
Sees naught but sunshine glad.
The Sun that cheers my spirit
Is Christ, my Lord and King;
The crown I shall inherit
Makes me rejoice and sing. Used With Tune: TESCHNER

One there is above all others
Author: John Newton Appears in 689 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Cross and Comfort Lyrics: 1 One there is above all others,
Well deserves the name of Friend;
His is love beyond a brother’s,
Costly, free, and knows no end:
They who once His kindness prove
Find it everlasting love!
2 Which of all our friends to save us,
Could or would have shed their blood?
But this Saviour died to have us
Reconciled in Him to God:
This was boundless love indeed;
Jesus is a Friend in need.
3 When He lived on earth abasèd,
"Friend of sinners" was His name;
Now, above all glory raisèd,
He rejoices in the same:
Still He calls them brethren, friends,
And to all their wants attends.
4 O for grace our hearts to soften!
Teach us, Lord, at length to love.
We, alas! forget too often,
What a Friend we have above:
But, when home our souls are brought,
We will love Thee as we ought.
Amen. Used With Tune: AMEN, JESUS HAN SKAL RAADE
One there is above all others
Wake, Awake, For Night Is Flying
Author: Philip Nicolai Meter: 8.9.8.9.8.9.8.6.6.4.4.4.8 Appears in 216 hymnals Topics: Comfort and Hope Lyrics: 1 Wake, awake, for night is flying:
The watchmen on the heights are crying,
Awake, Jerusalem arise!
Midnight's solemn hour is tolling,
His chariot wheels are nearer rolling;
He comes, prepare, ye virgins wise.
Rise up; with willing feet
Go forth, the Bridegroom meet;
Hallelujah!
Bear thro' the night your well trimm'd light,
Speed forth to join the marriage rite.
2 Zion hears the watchmen singing,
Her heart with deep delight is springing,
At once she wakes, she hastes away:
Forth her Bridegroom hastens glorious,
In grace arrayed, by truth victorious;
Her grief is joy, her night is day:
All hail, incarnate Lord,
Our crown, and our reward!
Hallelujah!
We haste along, in pomp of song,
And gladsome join the marriage throng.
3 Hear Thy praise, O Lord, ascending
From tongues of men and angels, blending
With harp and lute and psaltery.
By Thy pearly gates in wonder
We stand, and swell the voice of thunder,
In bursts of choral melody:
No vision ever brought,
No ear hath ever caught,
Such bliss and joy:
We raise the song, we swell the throng,
To praise Thee ages all along.
Used With Tune: [Wake, awake, for night is flying]

Lord, It Belongs Not to My Care
Author: Richard Baxter Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 264 hymnals Topics: Cross and Comfort Lyrics: 1 Lord, it belongs not to my care
Whether I die or live;
To love and serve Thee is my share,
And this Thy grace must give.
2 If life be long, I will be glad
That I may long obey;
If short, yet why should I be sad
To end his toilsome day.
3 Christ leads me thro' no darker rooms
Than He went thro' before;
He that into God's kingdom comes
Must enter by this door.
4 Come, Lord, when grace has made me meet
Thy blessed face to see;
For if Thy work on earth be sweet,
What will Thy glory be?
5 Then I shall end my sad complaints
And weary sinful days
And join with the triumphant saints
Who sing my Savior's praise.
6 My knowledge of that life is small,
The eye of faith is dim;
But 'tis enough that Christ knows all,
And I shall be with Him.
Amen. Scripture: Philippians 1:21 Used With Tune: ST. BERNARD
