I'll Praise My Maker with My Breath

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 527 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I’ll praise my Maker with my breath, and when my voice is lost in death, praise shall employ my noblest pow'rs; my days of praise shall ne'er be past, while life, and thought, and being last, or immortality endures. 2 Why should I make a man my trust? Princes must die and turn to dust; vain is the help of flesh and blood: their breath departs, their pomp and pow'r, and thoughts all vanish in an hour, nor can they make their promise good. 3 Happy the man whose hopes rely on Israel's God; He made the sky, and earth and seas, with all their train; His truth for ever stands secure; He saves th'oppressed, He feeds the poor, and none shall find His promise vain. 4 The LORD hath eyes to give the blind; the LORD supports the sinking mind; He sends the lab'ring conscience peace, He helps the stranger in distress, the widow and the fatherless, and grants the pris'ner glad release. 5 He loves His saints, He knows them well, but turns the wicked down to hell; thy God, O Zion, ever reigns; let every tongue, let every age, in this exalted work engage; praise Him in everlasting strains. 6 I’ll praise Him while He lends me breath; and when my voice is lost in death, praise shall employ my noblest pow'rs; my days of praise shall ne'er be past, while life and thought and being last, or immortality endures.

Wherefore Do the Nations Rage?

Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 12 hymnals First Line: Wherefore do the nations rage Lyrics: 1 Wherefore do the nations rage and the people vainly dream that in triumph they can wage war against the King supreme? Christ His Son a scoff they make, and the rulers plotting, say: "Their dominion let us break, let us cast their yoke away." 2 But the Lord will scorn them all, calm He sits enthroned on high; soon His wrath will on them fall, sore displeased He will reply: "Yet according to My will I have set My King to reign, and on Zion's holy hill My Anointed I maintain." 3 This His word shall be made known, This Jehovah's firm decree: Thou art My beloved Son, yea I have begotten Thee. All the earth at Thy request I will give Thee for Thy own; then Thy might shall be confessed and Thy foes be overthrown." 4 Therefore, kings, be wise, give ear; hearken, judges of the earth; learn to serve the Lord with fear, mingle trembling with your mirth. Kiss the Son, lest o'er our way His consuming wrath should break; but supremely blest are they Who in Christ their refuge take.
