It is indeed fitting for the believer to give praise to his Redeemer. Not only is He due praise for saving us, but for all that we are and have. “What hast thou that thou didst not receive? Now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?” He “giveth us richly all things to enjoy,” so “blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation.” No wonder that God’s Word tells us to be “giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” “By Him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name,” for the Lord says that “whoso offereth praise glorifieth Me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I show the salvation of God.” “And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him.” “Let my mouth be filled with Thy praise and with Thy honor all the day.”
Should I give praise to Him
Who gave Himself for me?
Should I remember mercies
Poured out so full and free?
