1 Kings 6:1-38; Jeremiah 13:1-27; Ephesians 5:22-6:9
Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen. 1 Timothy 1:17
When we are rejoicing, singing a hymn of praise to the King is always appropriate. We are saved by abundant grace through faith in Him. Following salvation, God continues to work in us by His power and the authority of our King will never diminish. Giving Him honour in a hymn goes beyond mere words expressing our gratitude for all of this. God finds great value in our praise and adoration, as we give voice to our joy in God. This too will be our eternal privilege. —Gaius C. Goff
Awake, my soul! Not only passive praise
Thou owest! Not only swelling tears!
Voice of sweet song! Awake, my heart, awake! —Samuel T. Coleridge
