156. "Praise Ye the Lord," Again, Again

C.M.
by M. Bowley
1
"Praise ye the Lord," again, again,
 
The Spirit strikes the chord;
 
Nor toucheth He our hearts in vain;
 
We praise, we praise the Lord.
“Praise ye the Lord. O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.” (Psalm 106:1)
“I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.” (Psalm 69:30)
“And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit. Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord. Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Ephesians 5:18-20)
2
"Rejoice in Him," again, again,
 
The Spirit speaks the word,
 
And faith takes up the happy strain;
 
Our joy is in the Lord.
“Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.” (Philippians 4:4)
“And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.” (Romans 5:11)
3
"Stand fast in Christ"; ah! yet again
 
He teacheth all the band;
 
If human efforts are in vain,
 
In Christ it is we stand.
“Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.” (Philippians 4:1)
4
"Clean every whit"; Thou saidst it, Lord;
 
Shall one suspicion lurk?
 
Thine, surely, is a faithful word,
 
And Thine a finished work.
5
Forever be the glory given
 
To Thee, O Lamb of God!
 
Our every joy on earth, in heaven,
 
We owe it to Thy blood.
“Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.” (Psalm 73:25)
“For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.” (Romans 5:6-9)
