"There is a peculiar freshness and charm about early morning praises; the day is loveliest when it first opens its eyelids, and God Himself seems then to make distribution of the day's manna ... It seems most appropriate that if our hearts and harps have been silent through the shades of night, we should be eager again to take our place among the chosen choir who ceaselessly hymn the Eternal One." (On Psalm 92)

"People lend their ears to music; how much more then should they listen to the harmonies of the gospel? They sit enthralled in the presence of an orator; how much rather should they yield to the eloquence of heaven?" (On Psalm 78, p. 183)

"Some sing for form, others for show, some as a duty, others as an amusement, but to sing from the heart because overflowing joy must find a vent, this is to sing indeed." (On Psalm 67, p. 151)

"The absence of outward comforts can be borne with serenity when we walk with God, and the most lavish multiplication of them avails not when He withdraws. Only after God therefore let us pant. Let all desires be gathered into one. Seeking first the kingdom of God-all else shall be added unto us." (On Psalm 63, p. 143)

"Dark signs of present or coming ill must not dishearten us. If the Lord had meant to destroy us, He would not have given us the gospel; the very fact that He has revealed Himself in Christ Jesus involves the certainty of victory." (On Psalm 60, p. 137)

"What a comfort to know that Jesus our Lord and Savior stands on a sure foundation in all that He is and does for us. His goings forth in love are not liable to be cut short by failure in years to come, for God has fixed Him firmly. He is forever and eternally able to save unto the uttermost those who come to God by Him, seeing that in the highest heavens He ever lives to make intercession for them." (p. 93, Ps. 40)
