  • FOR ALL THE SAINTS

    Amazing Grace William How, 1823–1897 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race that is marked out for us. (Hebrews 12:1) Someone has described a “saint” as any Christian…

  • Morning & Evening

    No doubt a part of the wonder which is concentrated in the word “Behold,” is excited by the unbelieving lamentation of the preceding sentence. Zion said, “The Lord hath forsaken me, and my God hath forgotten me.” How amazed the divine mind seems to be at this wicked unbelief! What can be more astounding than…

  • I SING THE MIGHTY POWER OF GOD

    Amazing Grace Isaac Watts, 1674–1748, with alterations by others He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the rivers unto the ends of the earth.

  • Morning & Evening

    When a believer has fallen into a low, sad state of feeling, he often tries to lift himself out of it by chastening himself with dark and doleful fears. Such is not the way to rise from the dust, but to continue in it. As well chain the eagle’s wing to make it mount, as…

  • Names Revealing the Son of Man

    This is a lovely depiction of the Messiah Yeshua revealed in the names of men found in the Old Testament (I do not like the OT and NT classifications as the entire book is relevant not secondary). Genesis 1 thru Revelation 22 is the treasure God has given to reveal Himself, how we are to…

  • PRAISE, MY SOUL, THE KING OF HEAVEN

    Amazing Grace Henry F. Lyte, 1793–1847 Praise the Lord, all His works everywhere in His dominion. Praise the Lord, O my soul. (Psalm 103:22) The Christian life that is joyless is a discredit to God and a disgrace to itself.— Maltbie D. BabcockA life of praise and an inner joy and contentment are interwoven—they are…

  • Morning & Evening

    This day is notable in English history for two great deliverances wrought by God for us. On this day the plot of the Papists to destroy our Houses of Parliament was discovered, 1605. And secondly—to-day is the anniversary of the landing of King William III, at Torbay, by which the hope of Popish ascendancy was…

  • PRAISE TO THE LORD, THE ALMIGHTY

    Amazing Grace Joachim Neander, 1650–1680Translated by Catherine Winkworth, 1829–1878 Let the people praise Thee, O God; let all the people praise Thee. (Psalm 67:3) Great expressions of praise to God have come from many different traditions and backgrounds. Throughout the centuries God has used the talents of people from various cultures to provide His church…

  • Morning & Evening

    A primary qualification for serving God with any amount of success, and for doing God’s work well and triumphantly, is a sense of our own weakness. When God’s warrior marches forth to battle, strong in his own might, when he boasts, “I know that I shall conquer, my own right arm and my conquering sword…

  • THE GOD OF ABRAHAM PRAISE

    Amazing Grace Thomas Olivers, 1725–1799Based on the revised Yigdal of Daniel ben Judah, 14th century You who fear the Lord, praise Him! All you descendants of Jacob, honor Him! (Psalm 22:23) The story of God’s dealing with Israel is an incredible one: the sovereign God preserving and directing throughout history the affairs of His chosen…
