I'll Praise My Maker While I've Breath
Author: John Wesley, 1703-1791; Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 527 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 1 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;
his 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;
he sends the wounded conscience peace;
he helps the stranger in distress,
the widow and the fatherless,
and grants the prisoner glad release.
4 I’ll praise him while he lends 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. Used With Tune: OLD 113th

And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart!

until we praise you face to face.

Hymn of Promise
Author: Natalie Sleeth, 1930-1992 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 25 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 1:14 First Line: In the bulb there is a flower Lyrics: 1 In the bulb there is a flower;
in the seed, an apple tree;
in cocoons, a hidden promise:
butterflies will soon be free!
In the cold and snow of winter
there's a spring that waits to be,
unrevealed until its season,
something God alone can see.
2 There's a song in every silence,
seeking word and melody;
there's a dawn in every darkness
bringing hope to you and me.
From the past will come the future;
what it holds, a mystery,
unrevealed until its season,
something God alone can see.
3 In our end is our beginning;
in our time, infinity;
in our doubt there is believing;
in our life, eternity;
in our death, a resurrection;
at the last, a victory,
unrevealed until its season,
something God alone can see. Topics: Promise & Hope Used With Tune: PROMISE
