Lyrics to the hymn, I Will Praise Him

The sun during a solar eclipse 


Introduction 
Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog; I hope that I can answer any questions that you might have.

Today, we are looking at the lyrics to the hymn, I Will Praise Him, by Margaret J. Harris; it was copyrighted in 1898, and Miss Harris edited it in 1910.

If you don't know how the tune goes, go to YouTube and look up Kaleb Brasee; he, as usual, did a nice job with his piano playing.

Now, on with the show!

A dashboard, stone bridge, and trees


          The Lyrics

Verse 1 

When I saw the cleansing fountain

Open wide for all my sin,

I obeyed The Spirit's wooing, 

When He said, "Wilt thou be clean?"

Chorus

I will praise Him! I will praise Him!

Praise the Lamb for sinners slain;

Give Him glory, all ye people,

For His blood can wash away each stain.

Verse 2 

Though the way seemed straight and narrow,

All I claimed was swept away;

My ambitions, plans and wishes

At my feet in ashes lay.

Chorus

I will praise Him! I will praise Him!

Praise the Lamb for sinners slain;

Give Him glory, all ye people,

For His blood can wash away each stain.

Verse 3

Then God's fire upon the altar 

Of my heart was set aflame;

I shall never cease to praise Him,

Glory, glory to His Name!

Chorus

I will praise Him! I will praise Him!

Praise the Lamb for sinners slain;

Give Him glory, all ye people,

For His blood can wash away each stain.

Verse 4 

Blessed be the Name of Jesus!

I'm so glad He took me in;

He's forgiven my transgressions,

He has cleansed my heart from sin.

Chorus

I will praise Him! I will praise Him!

Praise the Lamb for sinners slain;

Give Him glory, all ye people,

For His blood can wash away each stain.

Verse 5

Glory, glory to the Father!

Glory, glory to the Son!

Glory, glory to the Spirit!

Glory to the Three in One!

Chorus

I will praise Him! I will praise Him!

Praise the Lamb for sinners slain;

Give Him glory, all ye people,

For His blood can wash away each stain.

Mountains, snow, trees, and a dashboard

 Afterwards

It is a nice song; I like the fifth verse.

I have a challenge for you: 

Meditate on the meaning of each verse for about five minutes, then thank God for the gifts He has given you. 

A rearview mirror, snow, and trees

Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I write the lyrics to hymns, and the occasional recipe. Today, the hymn we are looking at is called This Is My Father's World; it was written in 1901 by a Mr. Maltbie Davenport Babcock. It was originally a poem with sixteen verses, but when it was set to music, only three verses were chosen. A tree and a bush Someday I might do the whole poem, but today, I'm just going to do the three that I know. Let me know if you want me to do the whole poem. Go to YouTube and look up Folksandhymns to find the tune. Now, on with the show! The Lyrics  Verse 1 This is my Father's world; And to my listening ears, All nature sings  And 'round me rings  The music of the spheres. This is my Father's world;  I rest me in the thought Of rocks and trees, Of skies and seas. His hand the wonders wrought. Verse 2 This is my Father's world; The birds, their carols raise. The morning light,  The lily...
