I Will Sing Unto the Lord

I Will Sing Unto the Lord 

     Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his
conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God. Ps. 50:23  

     Come to Jesus just as you are, sinful, weak, and needy, and He will
give you the water of life. You want a faith that reaches through the
hellish shadow that Satan casts athwart your pathway. He is busily
inventing amusements and fashions which will so take up men's minds that
they shall not be able to spare any time for meditation. Teach your
children to glorify God, not to please themselves. They are His
children--His by creation and by redemption. Teach them to shun the
amusements and follies of this degenerate age. Keep their minds clean
and pure in the sight of God. . . . Praise God. Let your conversation,
your music, your songs all praise Him who has done so much for us.
Praise God here, and then you will be fitted to join the heavenly choir
when you enter the city of God. Then you can cast your glittering crowns
at the feet of Jesus, take your golden harps, and fill all heaven with
melody. We shall praise Him with an immortal tongue.  

     As our Redeemer leads us to the threshold of the Infinite, flushed
with the glory of God, we may catch the themes of praise and
thanksgiving from the heavenly choir round about the throne; and as the
echo of the angels' song is awakened in our earthly homes, hearts will
be drawn closer to the heavenly singers. Heaven's communion begins on
earth. We learn here the keynote of its praise.  

     Praise the Lord; talk of His goodness; tell of His power. Sweeten
the atmosphere that surrounds your soul. . . . Praise, with heart and
soul and voice, Him who is the health of your countenance, your Saviour,
and your God.
