"When morning gilds the skies,
my heart awaking cries:
May Jesus Christ be praised.
Alike at work and prayer
to Jesus I repair:
May Jesus Christ be praised.”

[Greg Bailey @EditorGreg]

"Hallelujahs render
to the Lord most tender,
ye who know and love the Savior.
Hallelujahs sing ye,
ye redeemed, oh, bring ye
hearts that yield him glad behavior.
Blest are ye
endlessly;
sinless there forever,
ye shall laud him ever."

[Greg Bailey @EditorGreg]

"O my soul, rejoicing,
sing, thy praises voicing,
sing, with hymns of faith adore him!
All who here have being,
shout, your voices freeing,
bow down in the dust before him.
He is God
Sabaoth;
praise alone the Savior,
here and there forever."

[Greg Bailey @EditorGreg]

"Heavens, spread the story
of our Maker's glory,
all the pomp of earth obscuring.
Sun, thy rays be sending,
thy bright beams expending,
light to all the earth assuring.
Moon and star,
praise afar
him who glorious made you;
the vast heavens aid you."

[Greg Bailey @EditorGreg]

"Wondrous King, all glorious,
sov'reign Lord victorious,
oh, receive our praise with favor!
From thee welled God's kindness
tho' we in our blindness
strayed from thee, our blessed Savior.
Strengthen thou,
help us now;
let our tongues be singing,
thee our praises bringing."

[Greg Bailey @EditorGreg]

"Savation to God, who sits on the throne!
Let all cry aloud and honor the Son.
The praises of Jesus the angels proclaim,
fall down on their faces and worship the Lamb.”

[Greg Bailey @EditorGreg]

“Jesus, the name that charms our fears,
that bids our sorrows cease;
'tis music to the sinner's ears,
'tis life and health and peace.

He breaks the pow'r of reigning sin,
he sets the pris'ner free;
his blood can make the foulest clean,
his blood availed for me.”

[Greg Bailey @EditorGreg]

“O for a thousand tongues to sing,
my great Redeemer's praise,
the glories of my God and King,
the triumphs of his grace.

My gracious Master and my God,
assist me to proclaim,
to spread through all the earth abroad,
the honors of thy name."

[Greg Bailey @EditorGreg]

"Christ, to thee, with God the Father,
and, O Holy Ghost, to thee,
hymn, and chant, and high thanksgiving,
and unwearied praises be,
honor, glory, and dominion,
and eternal victory,
evermore and evermore."

I’ve never regretted having a book with me and not having the chance to read it, but I have regretted having a chance to read and not having a book with me.

[Greg Bailey @EditorGreg]

"O ye heights of heav'n adore him;
angel hosts, his praises sing;
all dominions, bow before him
and extol our God and King;
let no tongue on earth be silent,
ev'ry voice in concert ring,
evermore and evermore."

[Greg Bailey @EditorGreg]

"Of the Father's love begotten
ere the worlds began to be,
he is Alpha and Omega,
he the Source, the Ending he,
of the things that are, that have been,
and that future years shall see,
evermore and evermore."

[Greg Bailey @EditorGreg]

"O Christ, our hope, our heart's desire,
redemption's only spring!
Creator of the world art thou,
its Savior and its King.

For now the bands of death are burst,
the ransom has been paid;
and thou art on thy Father's throne,
in glorious robes arrayed.”

[Greg Bailey @EditorGreg]

"In [Christ] all fulness dwelling,
all grace and pow'r outpours:
the glory all excelling,
O Son of God is yours;
we worship you, we bless you,
to you alone we sing;
we praise you, and confess you
our glorious Lord and King."

@goodreads Aubrey and Maturin in “Master and Commander” and its (many) sequels.

[Greg Bailey @EditorGreg]

"O Savior, precious Savior,
whom yet unseen we love,
O Name of might and favor,
all other names above;
we worship you, we bless you,
to you alone we sing;
we praise you, and confess you
our holy Lord and King."

Unexpected forms of generosity:

-Being early can be a form of generosity. You wait, so they don't have to.

-Leaving something unsaid can be a form of generosity. You don't always need the last word.

-Delivering your work on time can be a form of generosity. You make life easier for everyone downstream.

-Not taking things personally can be a form of generosity. You give people the space to say things imperfectly.

@lotrbookquotes Why oh why did Peter Jackson not write this challenge into the film script?

[Greg Bailey @EditorGreg]

"O love, how deep, how broad, how high!
How passing thought and fantasy,
that God, the Son of God, should take
our mortal form for mortals' sake!

All honor, laud, and glory be,
O Jesus, virgin-born, to thee;
whom with the Father we adore,
and Holy Ghost, forevermore."

[Greg Bailey @EditorGreg]

"O Word of God incarnate,
O Wisdom from on high,
O Truth unchanged, unchanging,
O Light of our dark sky;
we praise thee for the radiance
that from the hallowed page,
a lantern to our footsteps,
shines on from age to age."
