Restoring and Preserving Grace

Appears in 201 hymnals Topics: Assistance from God; Assistance from God First Line: With all my powers of heart and tongue Lyrics: 1 With all my powers of heart and tongue I'll praise my Maker in my song; Angels shall hear the notes I raise, Approve the song, and join the praise. 2 [Angels that make thy church their care Shall witness my devotions there, While holy zeal directs my eyes To thy fair temple in the skies.] 3 I'll sing thy truth and mercy, Lord, I'll sing the wonders of thy word; Not all the works and names below So much thy power and glory show. 4 To God I cry'd when troubles rose; He heard me, and subdu'd my foes: He did my rising fears controul, And strength diffus'd through all my soul. 5 The God of heaven maintains his state, Frowns on the proud, and scorns the great; But from his throne descends to bless The humble souls that trust his grace. 6 Amidst a thousand snares I stand Upheld and guarded by thy hand; Thy words my fainting soul revive, And keep my dying faith alive. 7 Grace will complete what grace begins, To save from sorrows or from sins; The work that wisdom undertakes, Eternal mercy ne'er forsakes. Scripture: Psalm 138
