My Soul, Now Praise Your Maker
Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1820-1878; Johann Graumann, 1487-1541 Appears in 28 hymnals Topics: Community in Christ 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.

The good seed on the land,
But it is fed and watered
By God's almighty hand.
He sends the snow in winter,
The warmth to swell the grain,
The breezes and the sunshine,
And soft refreshing rain.
Refrain:
All good gifts around us
Are sent from heav'n above.
Then thank the Lord, oh, thank the Lord
For all his love.
2 He only is the maker
Of all things near and far;
He paints the wayside flower,
He lights the evening star.
The winds and waves obey him;
By him the birds are fed.
Much more to us, his children,
He gives our daily bread. [Refrain]
3 We thank you, our creator,
For all things bright and good,
The seed-time and the harvest,
Our life, our health, our food.
No gifts have we to offer
For all your love imparts,
But what you most would treasure -
Our humble, thankful hearts. [Refrain] Used With Tune: WIR PFLÜGEN

Together We Serve
Author: Daniel Charles Damon Meter: 5.5.11 D Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Community in Christ Lyrics: 1 Together we serve,
united by love,
inviting God's world to the glorious feast.
We work and we pray
through sorrow and joy,
extending God's love to the last and the least.
2 We seek to become
a beacon of hope,
a lamp for the heart and a light for the feet.
We learn, year by year,
to let love shine through
until we see Christ in each person we meet.
3 We welcome the scarred,
the wealthy, the poor,
the busy, the lonely, and all who need care.
We offer a home
to those who will come,
our hands quick to help, our hearts ready to dare.
4 Together, by grace,
we witness and work,
remembering Jesus, in whom we grow strong.
Together we serve
in Spirit and truth,
remembering love is the strength of our song. Scripture: Psalm 119:105 Used With Tune: SAN ANSELMO
Together We Serve
