Praise We Our Maker While We've Breath

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8 D Appears in 530 hymnals Topics: Service for the Lord's Day Opening of Worship Lyrics: 1 Praise we our Maker while we've breath; And when our voice is lost in death, Praise shall employ our nobler powers. Our days of praise shall ne'er be past While life, and thought, and being last, Or immortality endures. 2 The Lord gives vision to the blind; The Lord supports the fainting mind; He sends the laboring conscience peace. He helps the stranger in distress, The widow and the fatherless, And grants the prisoner sweet release. 3 Blest is the man whose hopes rely On Israel's God, who made the sky And earth and seas, with all their train. His truth forever stands secure; He saves th'oppressed and feeds the poor, And none shall find his promise vain. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 146 Used With Tune: OLD 113TH

"A nobler Rest"

Author: Philip Doddridge Appears in 355 hymnals Topics: Opening of Service; Opening of Service First Line: Thine earthly Sabbaths, Lord, we love Lyrics: 1 Thine earthly Sabbaths, Lord, we love, But there's a nobler rest above; To that our longing souls aspire, With cheerful hope and strong desire. 2 No more fatigue, no more distress, Nor sin nor death shall reach the place; No groans shall mingle with the songs That warble from immortal tongues. 3 No rude alarms of raging foes, No cares to break the long repose, No midnight shade, no clouded sun, But sacred, high, eternal noon. 4 O long-expected day, begin! Dawn on these realms of woe and sin; Fain would we leave this weary road, And sleep in death to rest with God.
