Singing

“Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving…Come before His presence with singing”
(Psalm 95:2; 100:2).

So often in these pages we stress the joy and privilege of singing hymns of worship, praise, and thanksgiving. Here is a well-known hymn that I believe fits that criteria:

Let saints on earth their anthems raise,
Who taste the Savior’s grace;
Sing, till in heaven they tune His praise,
And hail Him “Prince of Peace.”

Praise Him who laid His glory by
For man’s apostate race;
Praise Him who stooped to bleed and die,
And hail Him “Prince of Peace.”

We soon shall reach the blissful shore,
And view His glorious face;
His name forever to adore,
And hail Him “Prince of Peace.”

– Jonathan Evans, 1784
