I'll Praise My Maker While I've Breath
Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748); John Wesley (1703-1791) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 527 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 145 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 the oppressed, who feeds the poor,
whose promise none shall trust in vain.
3 The Lord pours eyesight on the blind;
the Lord supports the fainting mind;
and sends the labouring conscience peace.
God helps the stranger in distress,
the widow and the fatherless,
and grants the prisoner sweet release.
4 I’ll praise God while I'm granted 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. Topics: Justice; Praise of God; Psalm 146 Used With Tune: NASHVILLE

God is the refuge of his saints
Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 462 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 145:18-20 Lyrics: 1 God is the refuge of his saints,
When storms of sharp distress invade;
Ere we can offer our complaints,
Behold him present with his aid.
2 Let mountains from their seats be hurled
Down to the deep, and buried there;
Convulsions shake the solid world,
Our faith shall never yield to fear.
3 Loud may the troubled ocean roar,
In sacred peace our souls abide,
While every nation, every shore,
Trembles, and dreads the swelling tide.
4 There is a stream whose gentle flow
Supplies the city of our God;
Life, love, and joy, still gliding through,
And watering our divine abode.
5 That sacred stream, thy holy word,
That all our raging fear controls:
Sweet peace thy promises afford,
And give new strength to fainting souls. Topics: The Christian Church The Sanctuary; The Church's Safety
