Praise to God for his goodness and truth
Appears in 527 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 147 First Line: I'll praise my Maker with my breath Lyrics: 1 I'll praise my Maker with my 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 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' oppress'd, 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 sweet 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 ev'ry 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 nobler pow'rs:
My days of praise shall ne'er be past,
While life, and thought, and being last,
Or immortality endures.

God of the Ages, Whose Almighty Hand
Sometimes a light surprises
Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 407 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 147 Lyrics: 1 Sometimes a light surprises
the child of God who sings;
it is the Lord who rises
with healing in his wings;
when comforts are declining,
he grants the soul again
a season of clear shining
to cheer it after rain.
2 In holy contemplation,
we joyfully pursue
the theme of God’s salvation,
and find it ever new.
Set free from present sorrow,
we cheerfully can say:
'Now let the unknown morrow
bring with it what it may:
3 'it can bring with it nothing
but God will bear us through;
who gives the lilies clothing
will clothe his people, too;
beneath the spreading heavens
no creature but is fed,
and he who feeds the ravens
will give his children bread.'
4 Though vine nor fig-tree neither
their looked-for fruit should bear,
though all the field should wither,
nor flocks nor herds, be there,
yet, God the same abiding,
his praise shall tune my voice;
for while in him confiding
I cannot but rejoice.
