the echo was resounded with the
hymns of praise to God.”
Friends, we will never know in
this life what the hymns of the
Chinch have done for men. It
:s net therefore that every Church
Oiat has faith in God and Christ
shouU sing unto the Lord.
We
can: ot do otherwise than sing. It,
i ke prayer, is our vital breath.
And why should we not learn to
ng our hymns and sacred songs
with spirit and with the understand
ing also?
If I could have my way I
would like to give every child of
God such an appreciations of the
hymns that each and everyone
would enroll himself in a school of
uusic and become, if not a master,
at least an appreciative student in
the worship of God in song.
Yes, “We shall stand before the
King someday”
and our
very
souls will be filled with an inexpres-
sable joy; and we will want to sing,
and i believe that we will all have
need of this gift of song.
And we
shall carry with us the very best
of our Church hymns and music.
Here on earth so much of our
music is written in minor chords.
The sinner, with no hope in his
heart, can sing no other strain.
The savage and heathen can never
rise above this; but the Christian
with love, joy and peace pulsing
through his whole being must have
the major chords to sound out his
note of victory, and to ascribe all
honor and glory and praise to the
Lamb, in Whose blood we have
been washed from our sins.
For
we will learn in our Father’s home
on high that thd highest employment
will be to give glory to God for His
wonderful love to the children of
men. And the sweetest notes that
we shall hear from all that heavenly
host will be when the Son, himself,
shall say to all of his redeemed
ones, “Come, come,
come, ye
blessed of my Father; enter ye into
the joys of the Lord,”
