Author: Isaac Watts; John Wesley Hymnal: Voices United #867 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Scripture: Psalm 146 First Line: I'll praise my Maker while I've breath 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 How happy those whose hopes rely
on Israel's God, who made the sky,
the earth and seas, with all their train.
This truth forever stands secure;
God saves the oppressed, God feeds the poor,
and none shall find God's promise vain.
3 For God gives eyesight to the blind;
also supports the fainting mind,
and sends the troubled conscience peace.
God helps the stranger in distress,
the widow and the parentless,
and grants the prisoner sweet release.
4 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. Tune Title: OLD 113TH
