Lyrics
Verse 1
My soul, now praise thy maker! Let all within me bless His name
Who maketh thee partaker Of mercies more than thou dar'st claim
Forget Him not whose meekness Still bears with all thy sin
Who healeth all thy weakness, Renews thy life within
Whose grace and care are endless And saved thee through the past
Who leaves no suff'rer friendless, But rights the wronged at last.
Verse 2
He shows to man His treasure Of judgment, truth, and righteousness
His love beyond all measure, His yearning pity o'er distress
Nor treats us as we merit, But lays His anger by
The humble, contrite spirit Finds His compassion nigh
And high as Heav'n above us, As break from close of day
So far, since He doth love us, He puts our sins away.
Verse 3
For as a tender father Hath pity on his children here
He in His arms will gather All who are His in childlike fear
He knows how frail our powers Who but from dust are made
We flourish like 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.
Verse 4
God's grace alone endureth, And children's children yet shall prove
How He with strength assureth The hearts of all that seek His love
In Heav'n is fixed His dwelling, His rule is over all
Angels, in might excelling, Bright hosts, before Him fall
Praise Him who ever reigneth, All ye who hear His Word
Nor our poor hymns disdaineth, My soul, O praise the Lord!...
