• “I never felt such an entire emptiness of self-love, or any regard to any private, selfish interest of my own. It seemed to me, that I had entirely done with myself. I felt that the opinions of the world concerning me were nothing, and that I had no more to do with any outward interest of my own, than with that of a person whom I never saw. The glory of God seemed to be all, and in all, and to swallow up every wish and desire of my heart” – Sarah Edwards, wife of Jonathan Edwards

Dear Lord, I Praise Your Name by Xiao Min

(Canaan Hymn: No. 2,  P. 3;  CD II – 1;  K – 1; Original Xiao Min’s Hymn No. 5)

 

Dear Lord, I praise your name.

Because you have chosen me.

You have come from heaven to this sinful world and looking for me.

Dear Lord, I praise your name.

Because you have loved me.

Your great love fills entire universe even the whole wide world.

Your love has brought us salvation,

Show us how earnestly to follow God’s way.

Let all bow down to worship you.

Let all praise your name on high.

Great is God, our dear farther.

May all praise be to you.

You have lifted us from miry clay.

You have lifted us from dust.

Words cannot tell of all your Love; or praise all your righteousness.

Let us all praise God’s holy name with thanks-giving from our hearts.

  • “I entreat you, give no place to despondency. This is a dangerous temptation–a refined, not a gross temptation of the adversary. Melancholy contracts and withers the heart, and renders it unfit to receive the impressions of grace. It magnifies and gives a false colouring to objects, and thus renders your burdens too heavy to bear. God’s designs regarding you, and His methods of bringing about these designs, are infinitely wise.” – Madame Guyon
