A SONG OF PRAISE.

I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praise unto my God while I have my being. Psa. civ, 33.
O hear, my Father, while I raise, My cheerful voice, in songs of praise. Let sweetest notes my tongue employ, And fill my soul with sacred joy. I’ll sing of Jesus’ wondrous love, Which brought him from the realms above, To die, that we, a sinful race, Might taste the riches of his grace.
To him, who doeth all things well, My heart with rapture sweet doth swell, I will not sigh for worldly fame While Jesus owns my humble name, For he will be my sun and shield While I the Spirit’s sword do wield; He will give grace and glory too, And lead me all my journey through,
I’ll praise him for rich stores of grace That all the stains of sin efface; With perfect love our hearts he’ll fill While we obey his sovereign will. O come, ye saints, no longer sigh, Lift up your heads, redemption’s nigh, With me adore his precious name, And all the Saviour’s love proclaim. L. E. MILLER.
