My Soul, Now Praise Your Maker

Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1820-1878; Johann Graumann, 1487-1541 Appears in 29 hymnals Matching Instances: 10 First Line: My soul, now praise your maker! Lyrics: 1 My soul, now praise your maker! Let all within me bless his name Who makes you full partaker Of mercies more than you dare claim. Forget him not whose meekness Still bears with all your sin, Who heals your ev'ry weakness, Renews your life within; Whose grace and care are endless And saved you through the past; Who leaves no suff'rer friendless, But rights the wronged at last. 2 He offers all his treasure Of justice, truth, and righteousness, His love beyond all measure, His yearning pity o'er distress, Nor treats us as we merit, But sets his anger by. The poor and contrite spirit Finds his compassion nigh; And high as heav'n above us, As break from close of day, So far, since he has loved us, He puts our sins away. 3 For as a loving mother Has pity on her children here, God in his arms will gather All those who him like children fear. He knows how frail our powers, Who but from dust are made. We flourish as the flowers, And even so we fade; The wind but o'er them passes, And all their bloom is o'er. We wither like the grasses; Our place knows us no more. 4 His grace remains forever, And children's children yet shall prove That God forsakes them never Who in true fear shall seek his love. In heav'n is fixed his dwelling, His rule is over all; You hosts with might excelling, With praise before him fall. Praise him forever reigning, All here who hear his Word - Our life and all sustaining. My soul, oh, praise the Lord!

I Know My Faith Is Founded

Author: Erdmann Neumeister Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Matching Instances: 7 Lyrics: 1. I know my faith is founded On Jesus Christ, my God and Lord; And this my faith confessing, Unmoved I stand upon His Word. Man’s reason cannot fathom The truth of God profound; Who trusts her subtle wisdom Relies on shifting ground. God’s Word is all sufficient, It makes divinely sure, And trusting in its wisdom, My faith shall rest secure. 2. Increase my faith, dear Savior, For Satan seeks by night and day To rob me of this treasure And take my hope of bliss away. But, Lord, with Thee beside me, I shall be undismayed; And led by Thy good Spirit, I shall be unafraid. Abide with me, O Savior, A firmer faith bestow; Then I shall bid defiance To every evil foe. 3. In faith, Lord, let me serve Thee; Though persecution, grief and pain Should seek to overwhelm me, Let me a steadfast trust retain; And then at my departure Take Thou me home to Thee And let me there inherit All Thou hast promised me. In life and death, Lord, keep me Until Thy Heav’n I gain. Where I by Thy great mercy The end of faith attain. Used With Tune: NUN LOB Text Sources: composite translation

O Living Bread from Heaven

The gifts Thou now hast given Have filled my heart with joy and rest. O wondrous food of blessing, O cup that heals our woes! My heart this gift professing, In thankful songs o'erflows; For while the faith within me Was quickened by this food, My soul hath gazed upon Thee, My highest, only Good! 2 My God, Thou here hast led me Within Thy temple's holiest place And there Thyself hast fed me With all the treasures of Thy grace; O boundless is Thy kindness, And righteous is Thy pow'r, While I in sinful blindness Am erring hour by hour; And yet Thou com'st not spurning A sinner, Lord, like me! Thy grace and love returning, What gift have I for Thee? 3 A heart that hath repented, And mourns for sin with bitter sighs-- Thou, Lord, art well-contented With this my only sacrifice. I know that in my weakness Thou wilt despise me not, But grant me in Thy meekness The favour I have sought; Yes, Thou wilt hear with favor The song that now I raise, For meet and right 'tis ever That I should sing Thy praise. 4 Grant what I have partaken May through Thy grace so work in me That sin be all forsaken And I may cleave alone to Thee And all my soul be heedful How she Thy love may know; For this alone is needful Thy love should in me glow. Then let no beauty ever, No joy, allure my heart, But what is Thine, my Saviour, What Thou dost here impart. 5 O well for me that, strengthened With heav'nly food and comfort here, Howe'er my course be lengthened, I now may serve Thee free from fear! Away, then, earthly pleasure! All earthly gifts are vain; I seek a heav'nly treasure, My home I long to gain, My God, where I shall praise Thee, Where none my peace destroy, And where my soul shall raise Thee Glad songs in endless With pure joy.

Min Sjæl, min Sjæl, lov Herren

Author: Joh. Gramann; Landstad Appears in 5 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 Min Sjæl, min Sjæl, lov Herren, Og alt, hvad i mig er, hans Navn! Min Sjæl, min Sjæl, lov Herren, Glem ingen Ting af alt hans Gavn! Han, som din Synd udsletter Og læger dine Saar; Han, som dit Liv opretter, Naar du til Døden gaar; Han, som ny Kraft dig sender, Gjør Alderdommen ung; Han, som dig bær paa Hænder, Naar Tiden falder tung! 2 Sit Ord han lod os kjende, Og hans Velgjerninger vi veed. Barmhjertig uden Ende Og rig paa evig Miskundhed Han lader Vreden fare For dem, som gjøre Bod, Vil ingen Salve spare For Sorg og saaret Mod. Med Naaden sin og Trøsten Har han vor Angest stilt, Som Vesten er fra Østen Langt Synden fra os skilt. 3 Som sig en kjærlig Fader Miskunder over sine Smaa, Saa gjør vor Gud, og lader Op Naaden ny hver Morgen gaa. Han veed, vi ere ringe, Kun Støv og Aske vist, Ret som et Græs i Enge, En Urt, sin Blomst har mist. Naar Veiret hart paafalder, Da findes det ei meer, Saa gaar det med vor Alder, Vort Engelight er nær. 4 Men Guds Miskund alene Den bliver fast i Evighed Hos dem, ham trolig tjene, Hans kjære Børn og Menighed. Fra Himlens høie Sæde Han holder hellig Vagt. I Engle, som med Glæde Er Vidner til hans Magt. I Sterke, I, som fare At føre ud hans Bud, Og Jordens hele Skare Stat op og lover Gud!

My Soul! exalt the Lord thy God

Appears in 2 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: I. My Soul! exalt the Lord thy God, And all that's in me bless his Name, Make known his wondrous Works abroad, And oh, my Heart, retain the same; He pardons all thy Trespasses; Thy Frailties he repairs; Preserves thy Life from great distress, With mercy crowns thy Years; He satisfies thy Mouth with Good; Renews thine Age with Strength; The Lord hath Judgments for the proud, And saves th' Oppres'd at Length. II. He has reveal'd his wondrous Ways; By MOSES was his Justice known; He sent the World his Truth and Grace, By th' Incarnation of his Son. His Anger doth abate betimes; And when his Rod is felt, His Strokes are fewer than our Crimes, And lighter than our Guilt; His Grace shall be for ever blest With those that love his Name; Far as the East is from the West, He casts our Sin and Shame. III. As Fathers, mov'd with Tenderness, Correct their growing Children's Faults; So chastens God, yet loves no less Those who revere him in their Thoughts; He knows our short and feeble Breath; He knows we are but dust; His rising Wrath is big with Death; He summons, die we must: Our transient Days pass quick away; They're like the tender flower, One blasting Gale, one scorching Ray Destroys it in an Hour. IV. But thy Compassions, Lord, endure, Now and to all Eternity; And All shall find thy Promise sure, That keep thy Statutes faithfully. The Lord, our great and glorious King, Has fix'd his Throne on high' Ye Angels, to his Glory sing, And Men beneath the Sky. Join Hearts, and Lips with one Accord, And praise his holy Name, My Soul, according to his Word, Do thou repeat the same. V. To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost Be Glory, Might and Majesty; He is the God, of whom we boast; On whose kind Promise we rely; Let our united Zeal be shewn His glorious Fame to raise; For he's the God, whose Name alone Deserves our endless Praise. Thus we with humble Confidence Sum up our best Desire, And saying AMEN, in this Sense, Our Faith shall ne'er expire. Topics: Praise of God Used With Tune: [My Soul, exalt the Lord thy God]

The flock and all its shepherds cry; One Spirit us doth gather, One is our Lord, who reigns on high; One well of life doth lave us, One hope our souls inspires, One faith, our stay, doth save us, One love us ever fires, One peace our spirits blesses, One fight for our reward, One end of all distresses, One life in Christ our Lord. 2 One in the Spirit's union, We onward march, a pilgrim throng, And sing in sweet communion The ransomed Zion's victor-song; Through night and tribulation, Through death our way we wend, With hope and expectation To see our journey's end-- The cross, the grave, death's prison, We leave behind, and rise To meet our Savior risen, And enter Paradise.
