My soul, now praise thy Maker!

Author: Gramann Hymnal: Chorale Book for England, The #7 (1863) Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Year Written: 1540 Lyrics: My soul, now praise 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 Still bears with all thy sin, Who healeth all thy weakness, Renews thy life within, Whose grace and care are endless, And sav'd thee thro' the past; Who leaves no suff'rer friendless, But rights the wrong'd at last! He shows to man His treasure Of judgment, truth, and righteousness, His love beyond our measure, His yearning pity o'er distress; Nor treats us as we merit, But lays His anger by, The humble contrite spirit Finds His compassions nigh; And high as heaven above us, As break from close of day, So far, since He doth love us, He puts our sins away. For as a tender father Hath pity on his children here, He in His arms will 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-wind o'er them passes, And all their bloom is o'er,-- We wither like the grasses, Our place knows us no more. His grace alone endureth, And children's children yet shall prove How God with strength assureth The hearts of all that seek His love. In heaven 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! Languages: English

My Shepherd Is the Living Lord

Author: Thomas Sternhold; Isaac Watts Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #91 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Year Written: 1549 Lyrics: 1 My Shepherd is the living Lord nothing therefore I need; in pastures fair, near pleasant streams he setteth me to feed. He brings my wand'ring spirit back when I forsake his ways, and leads me for his mercy's sake in paths of truth and grace. 2 When I walk through the shades of death, thy presence is my stay; a word of thy supporting breath drives all my fears away. Thy hand, in sight of all my foes, doth still my table spread; my cup with blessings overflows, thine oil anoints my head. 3 The sure provisions of my God attend me all my days; O may thy house be mine abode, and all my work be praise. There would I find a settled rest, while others go and come-- no more a stranger or a guest, but like a child at home. Scripture: Psalm 23 Languages: English Tune Title: RESIGNATION

My inmost heart now raises

Author: Anon. Hymnal: Chorale Book for England, The #164 (1863) Year Written: 1592 Lyrics: My inmost heart now raises, In this fair morning hour, A song of thankful praises To Thine Almighty pow'r; And so I have begun This day, my God, my life shall be Begun and closed with praise to Thee, Through Christ Thy only Son. For Thou from me hast warded All perils of the night; From every harm hast guarded My soul till morning's light; Humbly to Thee I cry, Do Thou in grace the sins forgive That anger Thee each day I live, Have mercy, Lord most High! And keep me of Thy kindness From every harm to-day; Nor let me in my blindness To Satan fall a prey. My cup with good o'erflows, My soul and body, goods and life, My home and friends, my child and wife, Thy bounteous hand bestows. And so to Thy good pleasure My all I now commend, And most, what most I treasure; O Thou Almighty Friend, Order my course for me, And bless whate'er I undertake, Since I in all my choice would make As seemeth best to Thee. Amen! I say, not fearing That God rejects my prayer, I doubt not He is hearing And granting me His care; And so I go my way, And joyfully put forth my hands To do the work that He commands, And serve Him through the day.

My cause is God's, and I am His

Author: Pappus Hymnal: Chorale Book for England, The #127 (1863) Year Written: 1598 Lyrics: My cause is God's, and I am His, Let Him do with me as He will; Whether for me the race is run, Or scarce begun, I ask no more--His will be done! My sins are more than I can bear, Yet not for this will I despair, I know to death and to the grave The Father gave His dearest Son, that He might save. To Him I live and die alone, Death cannot part Him from His own; Living or dying, I am His Who only is Our comfort, and our gate of bliss. This is my solace, day by days When snares and death beset my way, I know that at the morn of doom From out the tomb With joy to meet Him I shall come. Then I shall see God face to face, I doubt it not, through Jesu's grace, Amid the joys prepared for me Thanks be to Thee Who givest us the victory! Amen, dear God! now send us faith, And at the last a happy death; And grant us all ere long to be In heaven with Thee, To praise Thee there eternally. Languages: English

My life is hid in Jesus

Author: Anon. Hymnal: Chorale Book for England, The #186 (1863) Year Written: 1608 Lyrics: My life is hid in Jesus, And death is gain to me; Then whensoe'er He pleases, I meet it willingly. For Christ, my Lord and Brother, I leave this world so dim, And gladly seek that other Where I shall be with Him. My woes are nearly over, Though long and dark the road; My sins His merits cover, And I have peace with God. Then when my powers are failing, My breath comes heavily, And words are unavailing, Oh hear my sighs to Thee! When mind, and thought, O Saviour, Are flickering like a light, That to and fro doth waver Ere 'til extinguished quite; In that last hour, oh grant me To slumber soft and still, No doubts to vex or haunt me, Safe anchor'd on Thy will; And so to Thee still cleaving Through all death's agony, To fall asleep believing, And wake in heaven with Thee.

My Song Is Love Unknown

Author: Samuel Crossman Hymnal: The Presbyterian Hymnal #76 (1990) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Year Written: 1664 Lyrics: 1 My song is love unknown, My Savior’s love to me, Love to the loveless shown That they might lovely be. O who am I That for my sake My Lord should take Frail flesh, and die? 2 Christ came from heaven's throne Salvation to bestow, But people scorned and none The longed-for Christ would know. But O my Friend, My Friend indeed, Who at my need His life did spend! 3 Sometimes they strew His way, And His sweet praises sing, Resounding all the way Hosannas to their King, Then “Crucify!” Is all their breath, And for His death They thirst and cry. 4 They rise, and needs will have My dear Lord made away; A murderer they save, The Prince of life they slay. Yet steadfast He To suffering goes, That He His foes From thence might free. 5 Here might I stay and sing, No story so divine: Never was love, dear King, Never was grief like Thine. This is my Friend, In whose sweet praise I all my days Could gladly spend. Scripture: Acts 3:14-15 Languages: English Tune Title: LOVE UNKNOWN

O who am I, that for my sake my Lord should take frail flesh, and die? 2 He came from his blest throne all made strange, and none the longed-for Christ would know. But, O, my Friend, my fFiend indeed, who at my need his life did spend! 3 Sometimes they strew his way, and his strong praises sing, resounding all the way Hosannas to their King. Then “Crucify!” is all their breath, and for his death they thirst and cry. 4 Why, what hath my Lord done? What makes this rage and spite? He made the lame to run, he gave the blind their sight. Sweet injuries! Ye they at these themselves displease, and 'gainst him rise. 5 They rise, and needs will have my dear Lord made away; a murderer they save, the Prince of life they slay. Yet cheerful he to suff'ring goes, that he his foes from thence might free. 6 In life, no house, no home my Lord on earth might have; in death, no friendly tomb but what a stranger gave. What may I say? Heaven was his home, but mine the tomb wherein he lay. 7 Here might I stay and sing, no story so divine: never was love, dear King, never was grief like thine. This is my Friend, in whose sweet praise I all my days could gladly spend. Topics: Jesus Christ Passion and Cross Scripture: Matthew 15:31 Languages: English Tune Title: LOVE UNKNOWN
