Psalm 9:1-2 (NIV) 1I will give thanks to you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds. 2I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High.
There are days when the words of an old familiar hymn rustle about in my mind; speaking volumes more clearly and better than my words ever could. Such is today as I recall the words written by Fanny J. Crosby and set to music by Chester G. Allen many years ago.
Praise Him! Praise Him!
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:
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:
Praise Him! praise Him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer! Heavenly portals loud with hosanas ring! Jesus, Saviour, reigneth forever and ever; Crown Him! Crown Him! Prophet, and Priest, and King! Christ is coming! over the world victorious, Power and glory unto the Lord belong:
Chorus Praise Him! Praise Him! tell of His excellent greatness; Praise Him! praise Him! ever in joyful song.
Gracious Heavenly Father,
Thank you for the life of Fanny Crosby and her faithfulness in service to you. Thank you that her words remind us and inspire us to give you all the Praise and Honor due your name. I praise you with all my heart!
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
