I will praise the Lord all my life

I will praise the Lord all my life


"I will praise the Lord all my life—I will sing praise to my God as long as I live!" Psalm 146:2

Let me practice much on earth—what I trust will be my delightful employment in Heaven. It is a good thing to praise You, O Lord—to show forth Your loving-kindness in the morning, and Your faithfulness every night!

The more I dwell, in a spirit of gratitude, on Your goodness and mercy—the more happy shall I be in the enjoyment of Your love, and the more earnest will be my desire to live to Your glory.

May my thanksgiving and praise not be confined to the bright hours of life when comforts abound; but help me, O Lord, to praise You in the cloudy and dark day .

Let me then think of Your past goodness, and of Your unchanging love.

Let me remember that You as surely designed the winter of adversity to be for my profit—as the summer of prosperity is for my enjoyment.

Let me remember that You are as good when You deny my requests—as when You grant them.

And if nothing else can make my heart sing in the hour of trouble—let Your redeeming mercy, and the unspeakable love of Christ, move me to gratitude and praise!
