Conclusion
Brethren, let us truly “mean what we sing” as we sing praises unto our God. How wonderful it will be “When All Of God’s Singers Get Home.” To be certain we are among them, let us truly live as we sincerely sing and mean the words to, “Hallelujah, Praise Jehovah!” (Psalm 47:6-7; Psalm 148:1-14; cf. Revelation 19:1,4-6).
