The Songs of an Ancient Faith:
“Praise the Savior, ye who know Him;
Who can tell how much we owe Him?
Gladly let us render to Him
All we are and have.
The God of Abraham praise,
Who reigns enthroned above;
Ancient of everlasting days
And God of love.
All the way My Savior leads me,
What have I to ask beside?
Can I doubt His tender mercy
Who through life has been my guide?
The Lord’s My Shepherd, I’ll not want.
He makes me down to lie,
In pastures green. He leadeth me
The quiet waters by.
My soul He doth restore again;
And me to walk doth make,
Within the paths of righteousness
Ev’n for His own Name’s Sake.”
Lyrics by, Thomas Kelly
Praise the Savior, Ye Who Know Him
Prayer:
Lord God: thank you Father for every inspiration you give us. Thank You for the glad sound of music that praises You by the blood of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
