I Will Sing My Maker's Praises

Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-76 Hymnal: LW1982 #439 (1982) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.7.8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 I will sing my Maker's praises And in him most joyful be, For in all things I see traces Of his tender love to me. Nothing else than love could move him With such deep and tender care Evermore to raise and bear All who try to serve and love him. All things else have but their hour. God's great love retains its pow'r. 2 He so cared for and esteemed me That the Son he loved so well He gave for me to redeem me From the quenchless flames of hell. O Lord, spring of boundless blessing, How then could my finite mind Of your love the limit find Though my efforts were unceasing? All things else have but their hour, God's great love retains its pow'r. 3 All that for my soul is needful He with loving care provides, Nor is he of that unheedful Which my body needs besides. When my strength cannot avail me, When my pow'rs can do no more, Then will God his strength out-pour; In my need he will not fail me. All things else have but their hour, God's great love retains its pow'r. 4 Since there's neither change nor coldness In God's love that on me smiled, I now lift my hands in boldness, Coming to you as your child. Grant me grace, O God, I pray you, That I may with all my might, All my lifetime, day and night, Love and trust you and obey you And then, after this life's end. Ever praise you, God, my friend.

Songs of Praise the Angels Sang

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: LW1982 #447 (1982) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Songs of praise the angels sang, Heav'n with alleluias rang When creation was begun, When God spoke and it was done. 2 Songs of praise awoke the morn When the Prince of Peace was born; Songs of praise arose when he Captive led captivity. 3 Heav'n and earth must pass away; Songs of praise shall crown that day. God will make new heav'ns and earth; Songs of praise shall hail their birth. 4 And shall man alone be still Till he stand on heaven's hill? No; the Church delights to raise Psalms and hymns and songs of praise. 5 Saints below, with heart and voice, Still in songs of praise rejoice, Learning here, by faith and love, Songs of praise to sing above. 6 Carried by their final breath, Songs of praise shall conquer death; Then, amidst eternal joy, Songs of praise their powers employ.

Oh, that I Had a Thousand Voices

Author: Johann Mentzer, 1658-1734 Hymnal: LW1982 #448 (1982) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O, that I had a thousand voices To praise my God with thousand tongues! My heart, which in the Lord rejoices, Would then proclaim in grateful songs To all, wherever I might be, What great things God has done for me. 2 O all you pow'rs that he implanted, Arise, keep silence now no more; Put forth the strength that God has granted! Your noblest work is to adore. O soul and body, join to raise With heartfelt joy our maker's praise. 3 You forest leaves so green and tender That dance for joy in summer air, You meadow grasses, bright and slender, You flow'rs so fragrant and so fair, You live to show God's praise alone. Join me to make his glory known. 4 All creatures that have breath and motion, That throng the earth, the sea, the sky, Come, share with me my heart's devotion, Help me to sing God's praises high. My utmost pow'rs can never quite Declare the wonders of his might. 5 Creator, humbly I implore you To listen to my earthly song Until that day when I adore you, When I have joined the angel throng And learned with choirs of heaven to sing Eternal anthems to my king.
