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 530 hymnals Topics: Year B, Ordinary Time after Pentecost, September 4-10 Lyrics: 1 I'll praise my Maker while I've breath, and when my voice is lost in death, praise shall employ my noblest powers; my days of praise are never past while life and thought and being last or immortality endures. 2 Happy are those whose hopes rely on God the Lord, who made the sky, and earth, the sea, the night and day; God's truth forever stands secure, he keeps his promise to the poor, and none who seeks is turned away. 3 The Lord gives eyesight to the blind, he calms and heals the troubled mind, and sends the wounded conscience peace. God helps the stranger in distress, the widow and the fatherless, and grants the prisoner glad release. 4 I'll praise you while you lend me breath, and, when my voice is lost in death, praise shall employ my noblest powers; my days of praise are never past while life and thought and being last or immortality endures. Scripture: Psalm 146 Used With Tune: OLD 113TH

Lord God, your love has called us here

Author: Brian Wren (born 1936) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 34 hymnals Topics: Pentecost 10 The Mind of Christ Lyrics: 1 Lord God, your love has called us here as we, by love, for love were made; your living likeness still we bear, though marred, dishonoured, disobeyed. We come, with all our heart and mind your call to hear, your love to find. 2 We come with self-inflicted pains of broken trust and chosen wrong, half-free, half-bound by inner chains, by social forces swept along, by powers and systems close confined yet seeking hope for all humankind. 3 Lord God, in Christ you call our name and then receive us as your own not through some merit, right or claim but by your gracious love alone. We strain to glimpse your mercy-seat and find you kneeling at our feet. 4 Then take the towel, and break the bread, and humble us, and call us friends; suffer and serve till all are fed and show how grandly love intends to work till all creation sings, to fill all worlds, to crown all things. 5 Lord God, in Christ you set us free your life to live, your joy to share: give us your Spirit's liberty to turn from guilt and dull despair, and offer all that faith can do while love is making all things new.

I see your cross: there teach my heart to cling. O let me seek you and O let me find! 4 Teach me to love you as your angels love, one holy passion filling all my frame, the baptism of the heaven-descended dove, my heart an altar and your love the flame.

Thine I am, O spotless Lamb; I will suffer nought to hide thee, Nought I ask beside thee. 2 In thine arm I rest me; Foes who would molest me Cannot reach me here. Though the earth be shaking, Ev'ry heart be quaking, Jesus calms my fear. Sin and hell in conflict fell With their bitter storms assail me, Jesus will not fail me. 3 Hence, all fears and sadness, For the Lord of gladness, Jesus, enters in. Those who love the Father, Though the storms may gather, Still have peace within. Yea, whate'er I here must bear, Still in thee lies purest pleasure, Jesus, priceless treasure!
