Latter-Day Saints Congregational Hymns ‎#14

14. I'll Praise My Maker

1. I'll praise my Maker while I've breath;
And when my voice is lost in death,
Praise shall employ my noblest pow'rs
My days of praise shall ne'er be past
While life and thought and being last,
Or immortality endures

2. Happy the man whose hopes rely
On Israel's God; He made the sky,
And earth and sea. with all their train
His truth forever stands secure;
He saves the opprest He feeds the poor,
And non shall find His promise vain

3. The Lord gives eyesight to the blind;
The Lord supports the fainting mind;
He sends the lab'ring conscience peace,
He helps the stranger in distress,
The widow and the fatherless,
And grants the prisoner sweet release.

4. I'll praise Him while He lends me breath,
And when my voice is lost in death,
Praise shall employ my noblest pow'rs,
My days of praise shall ne'er be past
While life and thought and being last,
Or immortality endures.
