SCRIPTURE

"Make a joyful noise unto God, all the earth: Sing forth the glory of his name: Make his praise glorious. Say unto God, How terrible are thy works! Through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee. All the earth shall worship thee, And shall sing unto thee; They shall sing to thy name. Selah Come, and see the works of God; [He is] terrible in his doing toward the children of men. He turned the sea into dry land; They went through the river on foot: There did we rejoice in him. He ruleth by his might for ever; His eyes observe the nations: Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah" — Psalms 66:1-7 (ASV)

The holy church throughout all the world lifts up her voice, to praise that Name which is above every name, to make the praise of Jesus glorious, both by word and deed; that others may be led to glorify Him also. But nothing can bring people to do this rightly unless His effectual grace creates their hearts anew to holiness; and in the redemption by the death of Christ, and the glorious deliverances it accomplishes, are more wondrous works than Israel's deliverance from Egyptian bondage.
