Psalm 146:2 While I live will I praise the Lord: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
Believers have many reasons to praise God, even when life hurts.
But, when we have exchanged the earthy for the heavenly, and we stand perfected in His presence in glory, we will have even more reason to exalt the name of the Lord.
Rev. 4:1-11; Rev. 5:9-14.
Praise Him! Praise Him!

Praise Him! Praise Him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer! — Sing, O Earth, His wonderful love proclaim! — Hail Him! Hail Him! Highest archangels in glory; — Strength and honor give to His holy Name! — Like a shepherd, Jesus will guard His children, — In His arms He carries them all day long.
CHORUS:
Praise Him! Praise Him! Tell of His excellent greatness; — Praise Him! Praise Him! Ever in joyful song!
Praise Him! Praise Him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer! — For our sins He suffered, and bled, and died. — He our Rock, our hope of eternal salvation, — Hail Him! Hail Him! Jesus the Crucified. — Sound His praises! Jesus who bore our sorrows, — Love unbounded, wonderful, deep and strong.
Praise Him! Praise Him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer! — Heav’nly portals loud with hosannas ring! — Jesus, Savior, reigneth forever and ever; — Crown Him! Crown Him! Prophet, and Priest, and King! — Christ is coming! over the world victorious, — Pow’r and glory unto the Lord belong.
Fanny J. Crosby 1869
