My Soul, now Bless Thy Maker
Author: Miss C. Winkworth; J. Graumann Appears in 28 hymnals First Line: My soul, now bless Thy Maker! Lyrics: 1 My soul, now bless Thy Maker!
Let all within me bless His name,
Who maketh thee partaker
Of mercies more than thou dar'st claim.
Forget Him not, whose meekness
Forgiveth all thy sin;
Who healeth all thy weakness,
Renews thy life within;
Whose grace and care are endless,
Who saved thee through the past;
Who leaves no suff'rer friendless,
But rights the wronged at last.
2 He shows to man His treasure
Of judgment, truth, and righteousness,
His love beyond all measure,
His yearning pity o'er distress;
Nor treats us as we merit,
But lays His anger by;
The humble, contrite spirit
Finds His compassion nigh;
And high as heav'n above us,
As break from close of day,
So far, since He doth love us,
He puts our sins away.
3 For, as a tender father
Hath pity on his children here,
He in His arms doth gather
All who are His in childlike fear:
He knows how frail our powers,
Who but from dust are made:
We flourish as the flowers,
And even so we fade;
A storm but o'er them passes,
And all their bloom is o'er,--
We wither like the grasses,
Our place knows us no more.
4 God's grace alone endureth,
And children's children yet shall prove
How He with strength asssureth
The hearts of all that seek His love.
In heav'n is fixed His dwelling,
His rule is over all;
Angels, in might excelling,
Bright hosts, before Him fall.
Praise Him who ever reigneth,
All ye who hear His word,
Nor our poor hymns disdaineth,--
My soul, O praise the Lord! Topics: Praise and Prayer Praise; Thanksgiving; Closing Hymns Used With Tune: MIN SJAEL, MIN SJAEL
