All My Days I will Sing this Song of Gladness

All My Days (Beautiful Saviour) is a modern hymn of praise written by Stuart Townend and first published in 2001. The hymn is a joyful declaration of lifelong worship, expressing a believer’s resolve to glorify Christ in every season of life. From its opening line, the song establishes praise not as a temporary emotion but as a settled commitment flowing from gratitude for who Christ is and what He has done.

The text centers on the beauty, majesty, and supremacy of Jesus Christ. Townend draws the worshiper’s attention to Christ as Creator, Redeemer, and risen King, echoing the biblical teaching that all things were made by Him and for Him (Colossians 1:16, KJV). The repeated emphasis on Christ’s worthiness reflects the heavenly worship described in Revelation, where every creature joins in proclaiming the Lamb’s glory and honor.

The hymn also carries a strong personal testimony. It acknowledges God’s faithfulness in guiding, sustaining, and redeeming the believer’s life. This aligns with the psalmist’s call to bless the Lord at all times and to remember His benefits, including forgiveness and steadfast love (Psalm 103:2-5, KJV). Praise in this hymn is not detached from daily experience but arises from a lived relationship with Christ.

Musically and lyrically, All My Days balances congregational accessibility with rich theological content. Its joyful tone makes it suitable for general worship services, while its Christ-centered focus ensures doctrinal depth. The refrain reinforces the central theme that Christ alone is worthy of unending praise, both now and forever.

This hymn continues to be widely used across evangelical churches as a song of celebration and dedication. It encourages believers to view their entire lives as an offering of worship, marked by gladness, gratitude, and unwavering devotion to Jesus Christ.
