Praise

“Unto him that loved us … be glory and dominion for ever and ever.”
— Rev. 1:5-6

“Let us be persuaded to praise the Lord alone. He only is worthy of being praised, revered and adored. The song of the blessed (Rev. 5) praises none but Him who redeemed them with His blood. It contains not one word of praise for any of their own number. … Let us strive to bring our hearts into unison with that song. … This will be our happiness even here below, and contribute to God's glory, which is wronged by the praise that Christians too often bestow on each other.”

“"Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee." Nothing but praise becomes those who shall dwell in God's house; it will be their unwearied, untiring employ — continual praise.”
