I'll praise my Maker while I've breath
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.8.8 D Appears in 529 hymnals Topics: Proper 23 Year C 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! He made the sky,
and earth and sea, with all their train:
his truth for ever stands secure;
he saves the oppressed, he feeds the poor,
and none shall find his promise vain.
3 The Lord pours eyesight on the blind;
the Lord supports the fainting mind;
he sends the labouring conscience peace;
he helps the stranger in distress,
the widow and the fatherless,
and grants the prisoner sweet release.
4 I'll praise him while he 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: Deuteronomy 10:18 Used With Tune: MONMOUTH
I'll praise my Maker while I've breath
As We Gather at Your Table
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 27 hymnals Topics: Year A Proper 23 Lyrics: 1 As we gather at your table,
as we listen to your word,
help us know, O God, your presence;
let our hearts and minds be stirred.
Nourish us with sacred story
till we claim it as our own;
teach us through this holy banquet
how to make Love’s victory known.
2 Turn our worship into witness
in the sacrament of life;
send us forth to love and serve you,
bringing peace where there is strife.
Give us, Christ, your great compassion
to forgive as you forgave;
may we still behold your image
in the world you died to save.
3 Gracious Spirit, help us summon
other guests to share that feast
where triumphant Love will welcome
those who had been last and least.
There no more will envy blind us
nor will pride our peace destroy,
as we join with saints and angels
to repeat the sounding joy. Scripture: Luke 14:16-24 Used With Tune: BEACH SPRING

Deck Yourself, My Soul, with Gladness
Author: Johann Franck; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 121 hymnals Topics: Proper 23 Year B Lyrics: 1 Deck yourself, my soul, with gladness,
leave the gloomy haunts of sadness,
come into the daylight’s splendour,
there with joy your praises render
unto Christ, whose grace unbounded
has this wondrous banquet founded;
high o’er all the heavens reigning,
yet to dwell with you is deigning.
2 Now I come before you lowly,
filled with joy most deep and holy,
as with trembling awe and wonder
on your mighty works I ponder;
how, by mystery surrounded,
depth no one has ever sounded,
none may dare to pierce unbidden
secrets that with you are hidden.
3 Sun, which all my living brightens;
Light, which heart and soul enlightens;
Joy, most sweet and spirit freeing;
Fount, the source of all my being;
at your feet I cry, my Maker,
let me be a fit partaker
of this blessed food from heaven,
for our good your glory given.
4 Jesus, bread of life, I pray you
let me gladly here obey you;
never to my hurt invited,
be your love with love requited;
from this banquet let me measure,
God, how vast and deep its treasure;
through the gifts you here now give me,
as your guest in heaven receive me. Used With Tune: SCHMÜCKE DICH

And although the way be cheerless,
we will follow, calm and fearless;
Guide us by your hand to the promised land.

Let not faithless fears o'ertake us,
let not faith and hope forsake us;
For through many a woe to our home we go.
3 When we seek relief from a long-felt grief,
When temptations come alluring,
make us patient and enduring;
Show us that bright shore where we weep no more.
4 Jesus, still lead on, till our rest be won;
Heavenly Leader still direct us,
still support, console, protect us,
Guide us by your hand to the promised land. Used With Tune: SEELENBRÄUTIGAM

in lowly paths of service free;
tell me thy secret, help me bear
the strain of toil, the fret of care.

with some clear, winning word of love;
teach me the wayward feet to stay,
and guide them in the homeward way.
3 Teach me thy patience; still with thee ,
in closer, dearer company,
in work that keeps faith sure and strong,
in trust that triumphs over wrong,
4 in hope that sends a shining ray
far down the future's broadening way,
in peace that only thou canst give,
with thee, O Master, let me live. Used With Tune: MARYTON
