"We do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words." In the same we do not know how to praise. God, our Father, has to reign over us, Jesus, the incarnate Word, will fight for us, the Holy Spirit will witness to us and we can only respond by having Him rule in us. Even in praising the eternal Trinity, we cannot do it by ourselves, we need help. Lord Jesus, fill my heart to such a degree that it overflows in praise now and forever.

This hymn appeared anonymously in George Whitefield's "Hymn Book", published in 1757. It is usually attributed to Charles Wesley, but was probably published anonymously for a good reason. Scholars think Wesley wrote this hymn as an imitation of the English national anthem, "God Save Our Gracious King." The national anthem had just been written, and it had become popular throughout England. This hymn may have been Wesley's way of keeping priorities straight. - Great Hymns of Faith by Brown & Norton
