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 527 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 145 Lyrics: 1 I’ll praise my Maker while I’ve breath,
and when my voice is lost in death,
praise shall employ my nobler powers;
my days of praise shall ne’er be past
while life and thought and being last,
or immortality endures.
2 Happy are they whose hopes rely
on Israel's God; who made the sky
and earth and seas, with all their train;
whose truth for ever stands secure,
who saves the oppressed, who feeds the poor,
whose promise none shall trust in vain.
3 The Lord pours eyesight on the blind;
the Lord supports the fainting mind;
and sends the labouring conscience peace.
God helps the stranger in distress,
the widow and the fatherless,
and grants the prisoner sweet release.
4 I’ll praise God while I'm granted breath;
and when my voice is lost in death,
praise shall employ my nobler powers;
my days of praise shall ne'er be past,
while life and thought and being last,
or immortality endures. Topics: Justice; Praise of God; Psalm 146 Used With Tune: NASHVILLE

the darkness falls at thy behest.

while earth rolls onward into light,
through all the world a watch is keeping
and rests not now by day or night.
3 As o’er each continent and island
the dawn leads on another day,
the voice of prayer is never silent,
nor dies the song of praise away.
4 The sun that bids us rest is waking
thy children ‘neath the western sky,
and hour by hour fresh lips are making
thy wondrous doings heard on high.
5 So be it, Lord; thy throne shall never,
like earth's proud empires, pass away;
thy kingdom stands, and grows forever
until there dawns thy glorious day.

O Love Divine, That Stooped to Share
Author: Oliver Wendell Holmes Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 273 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 145:18 Lyrics: 1 O Love divine, that stooped to share
Our sharpest pang, our bitterest tear,
On Thee we cast each earth-born care;
We smile at pain while Thou art near.
2 Though long the weary way we tread,
And sorrow crown each lingering year,
No path we shun, no darkness dread,
Our hearts still whispering, Thou art near.
3 When drooping pleasure turns to grief,
And trembling faith is turned to fear,
The murmuring wind, the quivering leaf,
Shall softly tell us, Thou art near.
4 On Thee we fling our burdening woe,
O Love divine, forever dear,
Content to suffer, while we know,
Living and dying, Thou art near.
Amen. Topics: Contentment; God Presence; Trust; God the Father His Presence Used With Tune: ST. CRISPIN

over all the world,
and his banner gleaming,
everywhere unfurled.
Broad and deep and glorious,

shines in might victorious
his eternal love.

your pure radiance pour;
for your loving-kindness
make us love you more.
And, when clouds are drifting
dark across the sky,
then, the veil uplifting,
Father, still be nigh.
4 We will never doubt you,
though you veil your light;
life is dark without you;
death with you is bright.
Light of light, shine o'er us
on our pilgrim way;
still go on before us,
to the endless day. Topics: The Living God Our Response to God - in times and seasons; Death and Bereavement; Light; Providence; Summer Used With Tune: RUTH

yet to eternity standeth thy word;
falsehood and wrong shall not tarry beside thee;

earth shall to freedom and truth be restored;
through the thick darkness thy Kingdom is hastening;

peace to the nations, and praise to the Lord. Topics: The Church Celebrates National Life; Our Response to God in intercession and petition; God in judgement and justice; Kingdom of God; Nation and Society; Peace; Remembrance Sunday; Word of God Used With Tune: RUSSIA
