Singing As Worship “Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name” (Heb. 13:15).
Men Have Said: • “Each man does his utmost in singing what will be a blessing to all. Psalms are sung in the home and rehearsed on the streets. A psalm is learned without labor and remembered with delight. Psalmody unites those who disagree, makes friends of those at odds, brings together those who are out of charity with one another.” (St. Ambrose) • “The fineness which a hymn or psalm affords Is, when the soul unto the lines accords.” (George Herbert)
God says: • “Is anyone among you suffering? Then he must pray. Is anyone cheerful? He is to sing praises” (James 5:13). • Exodus 15:1ff – Moses • I Sam. 2:1 – Hannah • 2 Sam. 1:18ff - David
Psalm 96 • “Such psalms as this never contemplate a religion which can be hidden away or held in secret. This praise and love must sound forth or die.” • “Because our love for the Lord should be among those deep and intense feelings which demand the fullest utterance of which the soul is capable.” • “Some thoughts cannot find their supreme form in prose.” (On Jordan’s Stormy Banks)
