Excerpt from The Lord's Song: Plain Sermons on Hymns Linnet and meadow-lark, and all the throng That dwell in nests, and have the gift of song. Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. Our work should be such that we may praise God by it; our joys should lift us to God in thanksgiving our sorrows, instead Of crushing us, should lift us up, so that we may say out of my stony griefs Bethel I'll raise. Thus our whole life should be, so to speak, a hymn Of praise, an endless hallelujah. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
