“Spiritual singing is…to be done by…the grace of God in the heart…. The conscious presence of God inspires song…singing involuntarily breaks forth…” (ref#64, p43,44).

Praise To the SPIRIT

To the SPIRIT of GOD, I exert my best praise: You awoke the first thrill of life in my soul, showed me my guilt and sealed my pardon. You led me to CHRIST.

You inspire every breath of my life, dwell in my heart—
give me Your healing sanctifying, comforting, and restoring grace.

Praise for Your influence,
which no ingratitude has quenched. Praise for Your patience,
which no backsliding has exhausted.

You renew my intellect, sanctify my heart,
inhabit my body
awaken every pulse of love.

I am a debtor to Your quickening mercy;
I owe You undivided and supreme affections. To the SPIRIT of GOD,
I exert my best praise (ref#61, Sept 5th).
