‘Exalt
the Lord our God... Make a joyful noise to the Lord’ (Psalms 99:5, 9;
98:4, 6; 100:1). We are to worship the Lord with joy. We are to glorify
God. We are to enjoy Him. In our worship, we must never forget the
holiness of God: ‘He is holy!... The Lord our God is holy!’ (Psalm 99:5,
9). In our worship, we rejoice in the love of God: ‘His steadfast love
endures for ever... He has done marvellous things!’ (Psalms 100:5;
98:1). The God of ‘awesome purity’ loves us with the most perfect love
of all: ‘No earthly father loves like Thee...’ Let us worship Him with
holy fear and heartfelt love: ‘O how I fear Thee, living God, with
deepest, tenderest fears... with trembling hope and penitential tears!
Yet I may love Thee too, O Lord, Almighty as Thou art, for Thou hast
stooped to ask of me the love of my poor heart’ (Church Hymnary, 356).
