Author unknown
Mans chief work is the praise of God.
Augustine of Hippo
Let us sing how the eternal God, the author of all marvels, first created the heavens for the sons of men as a roof to cover them, and how their almighty Protector gave them the earth to live in.
Caedmon
If I was a nightingale I would sing like a nightingale; if a swan, like a swan. But since I am a rational creature my role is to praise God.
Epictetus
The prophetic spirit orders that God be praised with cymbals of jubilation and with the rest of the musical instruments which the wise and studious have created, since all the arts are brought to life by that breath of life which God breathed into the body of man: and therefore it is just that God be praised in all things.
Hildegard of Bingen
If any one would tell you the shortest, surest way to all happiness and all perfection, he must tell you to make it a rule to yourself to thank and praise God for everything that happens to you. For it is certain that whatever seeming calamity happens to you, if you thank and praise God for it, you turn it into a blessing. Could you, therefore, work miracles, you could not do more for yourself than by this thankful spirit; for it heals with a word, and turns all that it touches into happiness.
William Law
I was not born to be free. I was born to adore and to obey.
C.S. Lewis
A man should utter a hundred daily benedictions.
Rabbi Meir
Let us, with a gladsome mind,
Praise the Lord, for he is kind:
For his mercies aye endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.
Let us blaze his name abroad,
For of gods he is the God:
He, with all-commanding might,
Filled the new-made world with light:
All things living he doth feed,
His full hand supplies their need:
He his chosen race did bless
In the wasteful wilderness:
Let us then with gladsome mind
Praise the Lord, for he is kind.
John Milton
When we wake up each morning, if praise of the Risen Christ were to fill our hearts … then in the monotony of daily life, an inner surge of vitality would reveal our hidden longing.
Brother Roger
One day all Christians will join in a doxology and sing God’s praises with perfection. But even today, individually and corporately, we are not only tosing the doxology, but to be the doxology.
Francis Schaeffer
Look at the very birds on earth – how they shame us!
Dear little creatures, if you watch them when they are singing, you will sometimes wonder how so much sound can come out of such diminutive bodies.
How they throw their whole selves into the music, and seem to melt themselves away in song!
How the wing vibrates, the throat pulsates, and every part of their body rejoices to assist the strain!
This is the way in which we ought to praise God.
C.H. Spurgeon
Praising God is one of the highest and purest acts of religion. In prayer we act like men; in praise we act like angels.
Thomas Watson
In vain the first-born seraph tries to sound the depths of love divine.
Charles Wesley
The sweetest of all sounds is praise.
Xenophon
