Preeminent Praise

"Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; Him shalt thou serve, and to Him shalt thou cleave, and swear by His name.  He is thy praise, and He is thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen” (Deuteronomy 10:20,21).  “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me” (John 14:6).

Fear the Lord God and consider His  ways:
Cleave to Him, serve Him, and trust in His name.
Worthy alone of  preeminent praise,
He is our Savior, forever the same.

How great are the proofs in Lord Jesus Christ
That He is the Way to the Father alone,
The Truth, and the Life, and the Lamb sacrificed,
Fulfilling what Scripture before had made known.

O Lord, we give thanks for the grace You impart
That grants us salvation we do not deserve!
Receive the preeminent praise of each heart
Expressed in Your people who gratefully serve.
