The photo above shows a golden hand pointing to the heavens as it sits atop a church steeple. This testimony to the glory of God, His mercy, and his love is located in the little town of Port Gibson, Mississippi. This steeple focuses attention on God rather than a building of brick and stone. God is glorified, as thanksgiving and praise are the messages that this hand pointing to the heavens sends. The hymn below also proclaims God’s praise and points to His love, honor, holiness, greatness, redemption, atonement, salvation, power, glory, and victory. The hymn ends by crowning Him Prophet, Priest, and King.
Brethren, praise God as you meditate on the wonderful words of this hymn and consider the wonderful salvation that is the present possession of all who are in Jesus Christ by faith. With such a savior, praise and thanksgiving should overflow in our hearts even when serious temporal concerns have intruded into our lives. The victory is won and we have nothing to dread or fear. Praise Him! Praise Him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer!
Praise Him, Praise Him
Words by: Fanny Crosby
Praise Him! Praise Him! Jesus, our blessèd Redeemer!
Sing, O Earth, His wonderful love proclaim!
Hail Him! hail Him! highest archangels in glory;
Strength and honor give to His holy Name!
Like a shepherd, Jesus will guard His children,
In His arms He carries them all day long:
