Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10301 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 With all my powers of heart and tongue,
I’ll praise my Maker in my song;
Angels shall hear the notes I raise,
Approve the song, and join the praise.
2 Angels that make Thy church their care
Shall witness my devotions there,
While holy zeal directs my eyes
To Thy fair temple in the skies.
3 I’ll sing Thy truth and mercy, Lord,
I’ll sing the wonders of Thy Word;
Not all Thy works and names below
So much Thy power and mercy show.
4 To God I cried when troubles rose;
He heard me, and subdued my foes;
He did my rising fears control,
And strength diffused through all my soul.
5 The God of Heav’n maintains His state,
Frowns on the proud, and scorns the great;
But from His throne descends to see
The sons of humble poverty.
6 Amidst a thousand snares I stand,
Upheld and guarded by Thy hand,
Thy words my fainting soul revive,
And keep my dying faith alive.
7 Grace will complete what grace begins,
To save from sorrows or from sins;
The work that wisdom undertakes
Eternal mercy ne’er forsakes. Languages: English Tune Title: IOSCO
