In this conversation we discuss what motivated the writing of the hymn and the scripture references behind the words.


Exalted


Known before the world;

Seen in future days;

Glimpsed by righteous men:

Son of God. 

Sent as David’s heir;

Named an ageless King;

Granted all the earth:

Exalted.


Seen with blinded eyes; 

Heard by heedless ears;

Met with wicked hearts:

Son of God. 

Worshiped with contempt;

Crowned with blood and thorns;

Throned upon a cross:

Exalted.


Scorned by those who watched;

Mocked by all the wise;

Loved within belief: (loved only by believers)

Son of God. 

Born to take my death;

Slain to give me life:

Jesus, Son of God.

Exalted! Exalted!

]]> Hymn Devotional - My God, I Thank You Hymn Devotional - My God, I Thank You Sun, 23 Feb 2020 09:00:02 GMT 16:34 5e505343a9edb5731785deef false https://shows.acast.com/the-sacrifice-of-praise/episodes/hymn-devotional-my-god-i-thank-you 5e505343a9edb5731785deef 5e3de0bae1d1463419328bde hymn-devotional-my-god-i-thank-you full 2 "My God, I Thank You, Who Have Made" was written by Adelaide Procter in 1858. This podcast takes a closer look at the words of this thought-provoking prayer of thanksgiving.


Lyrics (slightly modified to modern English):


My God, I thank You, who have made

The earth so bright,

So full of splendor and of joy,

Beauty and light;

So many glorious things are here,

Noble and right.


I thank You, too, that You have made

Joy to abound;

So many gentle thoughts and deeds

Circling us round,

That in the darkest spot of earth

Some love is found.


I thank You more that all our joy

Is touched with pain,

That shadows fall on brightest hours,

That thorns remain;

So that earth’s bliss may be our guide,

And not our chain.


I thank You, Lord, that You have kept

The best in store;

We have enough, yet not too much

To long for more:

A yearning for a deeper peace

Not known before.


I thank You, Lord, that here our souls

Though amply blessed,

Can never find, although they seek

A perfect rest;

Nor ever shall, until they lean

On Jesus’ breast.


Music: Matthew Harber (2011)

Recording: Josh McKinsey
