Praise Him!

PRAISE HIM! PRAISE HIM!

by

Fanny J. Crosby

Praise Him! Praise Him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer!

Sing, O earth– His wonderful love proclaim!

Hail Him! Hail Him! highest archangels in glory;

strength and honor give to His holy name!

Like a shepherd, Jesus will guard His children;

in His arms He carries them all day long.

Refrain:

Praise Him! Praise Him! Tell of His excellent greatness.

Praise Him! Praise Him ever in joyful song!

Praise Him, praise Him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer!

For our sins He suffered, and bled, and died.

He, our Rock, our Hope of eternal salvation—

Hail Him! Hail Him! Jesus, the Crucified!

Sound His praises! Jesus, who bore our sorrows!

Love unbounded, wonderful, deep, and strong. [Refrain]

Praise Him! Praise Him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer!

Heav’nly portals loud with hosannas ring!

Jesus, Savior, reigneth forever and ever.

Crown Him! Crown Him! Prophet, and Priest, and King!

Christ is coming, over the world victorious;

pow’r and glory unto the Lord belong! [Refrain]

Your Neighbor

Do not waste time bothering whether you "love" your neighbor; 

act as if you did.

 ~C.S. Lewis

 

By Grace

But God, being rich in mercy,

 because of the great love with which he loved us, 

even when we were dead in our trespasses, 

made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved.

Virtues and Blessings

To love God is the greatest of virtues;

So Beauty Grows

Since love grows within you, so beauty grows. 

For love is the beauty of the soul. 

~Augustine

 

The Mighty One in Our Midst

The Lord your God is in your midst, 

a mighty one who will save; 

He will rejoice over you with gladness; 

He will quiet you by his love; 

He will exult over you with loud singing.

   ~Zephaniah 3:17

 

Stillness

Moments, spent in solitude and stillness,

 bring us very close to God, to nature, 

and to all the wonders which lie around us 

and which, in our hurrying hours, 

we forget to ponder upon. 

~Faith Baldwin

 

Romans 5:8

But God shows his love for us in that 

while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Augustine - Love

He that loveth little prayeth little,

 he that loveth much prayeth much.

Love Lifted Me

LOVE LIFTED ME

by

James Rowe

I was sinking deep in sin,

Far from the peaceful shore,

Very deeply stained within,

Sinking to rise no more;

But the Master of the sea

Heard my despairing cry,

From the waters lifted me–

Now safe am I.

Refrain:

Love lifted me,

Love lifted me,

When nothing else could help,

Love lifted me;

Love lifted me,

Love lifted me,

When nothing else could help,

Love lifted me.

All my heart to Him I give,

Ever to Him I'll cling,

In His blessed presence live,

Ever His praises sing.

Love so mighty and so true

Merits my soul's best songs;

Faithful, loving service, too,

To Him belongs. [Refrain]

Souls in danger, look above,

Jesus completely saves;

He will lift you by His love

Out of the angry waves.

He's the Master of the sea,

Billows His will obey;

He your Savior wants to be–

Be saved today. [Refrain]
