While I Have Breath

	  		E 
I'll praise my Maker while I have breath 
    B 
And when voice is lost in death 
A 
Praise employs my nobler powers 
   E 
My days of praise will never be past 
E 
Happy those whose hopes rely 
   B 
On Israel's God who made the sky 
A 
Earth and seas with all their train 
    E 
And all the land that lies within 

E 
Our God pours eyesight on the blind 
B 
He supports the fainting mind 
    A 
His truth forever stands secure 
   E 
He saves oppressed and feeds the poor 
E 
I'll praise my God who lends me breath 
    B 
And when my voice is lost in death 
A 
Praise employs my nobler powers 
   E 
My days of praise will never be past 

E 
O for a thousand tongues to sing 
                    B 
My great Redeemer's praise 
    E 
The glories of my God and King 
            B      E 
The triumph of His grace 

My gracious Master and my God 
                B 
Assist me to proclaim 
   E 
To spread through all the Earth abroad 
           B       E 
The honors of Your name 

Jesus the name that charms our fears 
                      B 
That bids our sorrows cease 
    E 
Tis music in the sinner's ear 
             B          E 
Tis life and health and peace 

E 
God helps the stranger in distress 
    B 
The widowed and the fatherless 
   A 
He grants the prisoner sweet release 
    E 
And sends the laboring conscience peace 
E 
I'll praise my God who lends me breath 
    B 
And when my voice is lost in death 
A 
Praise employs my nobler powers 
   E 
My days of praise will never be past
