I Will Sing My Maker's Praises

Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-76 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.7.8.7.7 Appears in 13 hymnals Topics: Comfort and Rest Lyrics: 1 I will sing my Maker's praises And in him most joyful be, For in all things I see traces Of his tender love to me. Nothing else than love could move him With such deep and tender care Evermore to raise and bear All who try to serve and love him. All things else have but their hour. God's great love retains its pow'r. 2 He so cared for and esteemed me That the Son he loved so well He gave for me to redeem me From the quenchless flames of hell. O Lord, spring of boundless blessing, How then could my finite mind Of your love the limit find Though my efforts were unceasing? All things else have but their hour, God's great love retains its pow'r. 3 All that for my soul is needful He with loving care provides, Nor is he of that unheedful Which my body needs besides. When my strength cannot avail me, When my pow'rs can do no more, Then will God his strength out-pour; In my need he will not fail me. All things else have but their hour, God's great love retains its pow'r. 4 Since there's neither change nor coldness In God's love that on me smiled, I now lift my hands in boldness, Coming to you as your child. Grant me grace, O God, I pray you, That I may with all my might, All my lifetime, day and night, Love and trust you and obey you And then, after this life's end. Ever praise you, God, my friend.

Thou in the night my heart hast tried, Nor found it turned from Thee aside. 2 With steadfast courage I design No wrong to speak or do; Thy path of life I choose for mine And walk with purpose true. For help, O God, I cry to Thee, Assured that Thou wilt answer me. 3 O Thou that ever savest those Whose trust on Thee is stayed, Preserving them from all their foes By Thy almighty aid, Let me Thy loving-kindness see, Thy wondrous mercy, full and free. 4 O guard me well as one doth guard The apple of the eye; While deadly foes are pressing hard, To Thee, to Thee I cry. Do Thou my rest and refuge be, O let Thy wings o'er shadow me. 5 My enemy, grown strong in pride, Would take my life away, A lion lurking by my side, Most greedy for his prey. Confront and cast him down, O Lord, From evil save me by Thy sword. 6 Defend me from the men of pride, Whose portion is below, Who, with life's treasures satisfied, No better portion know; They, with earth's joys and wealth content, Must leave them all when life is spent. 7 When I in righteousness at last Thy glorious face shall see, When all the weary night is past, And I awake with Thee To view the glories that abide, Then, then I shall be satisfied.
