Sanctified Gladness ~ Songs of Praise

"It is always beneficial to praise the Lord;

 it cheers the day and brightens the night;

it lightens toil and softens sorrow;

and over earthly gladness it sheds a sanctifying radiance

which makes it less liable to blind us with its glare.

Have we not something to sing about at this moment?

Can we not weave a song out of our present joys,

or our past deliverances, or our future hopes?

By the love of Jesus, let us be stirred up

to close the day with a psalm of sanctified gladness."

-- Charles Spurgeon --
