"If singing is tempered to a gravity befitting the presence of God and angels, it both gives dignity and grace to sacred actions, and has a very powerful tendency to stir up the mind to true zeal and ardor in prayer. ~ must, however, carefoUy beware, lest our ears be more intent on the music than our minds on the spiritual meaning of the words ... on the other hand, songs

" ... next to the Word of God, music deserves the highest praise. She is a mistress and governess of those human emotions ... which as master govern men or more often overwhelm them. No

greater commendation than this can be found-at least not by us. For whether you wish to com­fort the sad, to terrifY the happy, to encourage the despairing, to humble the proud, to calm the

passionate, or to appease those full of hate-and who could number all these masters of the human heart. namely, the emotions, inclinations, and affections that impel men to evil or good?

-what more effective means than music could you find? The Holy Ghost Himself honors her as an instrument for His proper work when in His Holy Scriptures He asserts that through her His gifts were instilled in the prophets, namely, the inclination to all virtues, as can be seen in Elisha

(2Ki 3:15). On the other hand, she serves to cast out Satan, the instigator of all sins, as is shown in Sau£ the king of Israel (1 Sa 16:23)."

"'Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever' (Rev 5:13). Thus God's name is hallowed and sanctified in heaven; the

angels and glorified saints are singing hallelujahs. Let us begin the work of heaven here. David sang forth God's praises and doxologies in a most melodious manner, and was, therefore, called

the sweet singer of Israel (2Sa 23: 1). Praising God is hallowing His name; it spreads His renown; it displays the trophies of His excellency; it exalts Him in the eyes of others. 'Whoso

o.ffereth praise glorifieth me' (Psa 50:23). This is one of the highest and purest acts of religion. In prayer we act like men; in praise we act like angels."

The reading of the Scriptures, Preaching, and hearing the word of God, teaching and admonish­ing one another in Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual songs, singing with grace in our Hearts to the Lord,· as also the Administration of Baptism, and the Lord's Supper are all parts of Religious worship of God, to be performed in obedience to Him, with understanding, faith, reverence,

and godly fear; moreover solemn humiliation with fastings; and thanksgiving upon special occasions, ought to be used in an holy and religious manner.

"Thus it was not without reason that the fathers and prophets wanted nothing else to be associated as closely with the Word of God as music. Therefore, we have so many hymns and Psalms where message and music join to move the listener's soul while in other living beings and {sounding] bodies music remains a lttnguage without words. After all, the gift of language combined with the gift of song was only given to man to let him know that he should praise God with both

word and music, nmnely, by proclaiming [the Wlord of God} through music and ~y providing sweet melodies with words." ·

"Praise is the music of heaven, and a work fit for a saint. 'Let the saints be joyfol: let the high praises of God be in their mouth' (Psa 149:5, 6). None but saints can in a right manner thus hallow God's name by praising Him. As everyone has not skill to play on the viol and organ, so every one cannot rightly sound forth God's harmonious praises; only the saints can do it; they only can make their tongue and heart join in concert.

"Praise should be the continual exercise of believers. It is the joyfol work of heaven, it should be the continual joy of earth ... m bless the Lord and the Lord alone; we have no music but for

him, but we do not always praise him after the same fashion. As there were different instruments of music-the ten-stringed instrument or decachord, the psaltry, the harp,-so, too, there are

different subjects, a subject for the morning and a subject for the evening; lovingkindness to be shown forth at one time, and faithfulness to be sung at another. I wish that men studied more

the praise they profoss to present unto God. I sometimes find, even in our own public song, simple as it is, that there is a want of thought evidently among us: for time is not maintained with the

precision that would grow out of thoughtfulness, there is a tendency to sing more slowly, as if devotion were wearying, if not wearisome, and too frequently I foar the singing gets to be mechanica4 as if the tune mastered you, and you did not govern the tune by making those

inflections and modulations of voice which the sense would suggest, if you sang with all your hearts and with your understandint~ also."

"0 sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth. Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day. Declare his glory among the heathen,

his wonders among all people. For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.

Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary. Give unto the LORD, 0 ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength. Give unto the

LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts. 0 worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth" (Psalm 96: 1-9).

We believe that singing the praises of God is a holy ordinance of Christ, and not a part of natural religion or a moral duty only; but that it is brought under divine institution, it being enjoined on the Churches of Christ to sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs; and that the whole church in their public assemblies (as well as private Christians) ought to sing God's

praises according to the best light they have received. Moreover, it was practiced in the great representative church by our Lord Jesus Christ with His disciples, after He has

instituted and celebrated the sacred ordinance of His Holy Supper, as a commemorative token of redeeming love.

"Remember well that there is no more of music to Gods ear in any service than there is of heart­love and holy devotion. You may make floods of music with your organ if you like; or you may

· make equally good music-and some of us think better-with human voices; but it is not music to God, either of instrument or of voice, unless the heart be there; and the heart is not fully there,

the man, the whole man, is not fully there, unless the soul glows with the praise." -Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892)

CHRIST-CENTERED HYMNS

~

''The most exceHent subject to discourse or write of, is Jesus Christ ... indeed all we say is but unsavory, if it be not seasoned with this salt, "I deter~ mined not to know any rhing among you, save Jesu.s Christ, and Him cruci~ fied" . . . in this knowledge of Christ, there is an c.xcdlcncy above all other knowledge in the world; there is nothing more pleasing and comfortable, more animating and enlivening, more ravishing and soul contenting; only Christ is the sun and center of all divine revealed truths, we can preach nothing else as the object of our faith, as the necessary element of your soul's salvation, which doth not some way or other, either meet in Christ, or refer to Christ; only Christ is the whole of man's happiness, the Sun to enlighten him, the Physician to heal him, rhe Wall of fire to defend him, the Friend to comfort him, the Pearl to enrich him, the Ark to support him, the Rock to sustain him under the heaviest pressures ... come then, let us look on this Sun of righteousness."

-Isaac Ambrou (1604-1664)

~!4.

Christ-centered hymns are often missing in our man~ccntcrcd church serv­ices today. The Publishers desire to see this collection of Christ-exalting hymns used in churches, family worship, Bible studies, jail ministries, personal devo~ tions, sermon preparation, missions, and in whatever useful ways the Lord Himself may guide His people.

The hymns contained herein arc not commonly known in these modern times. But like buried treasure discovered, each is a rare gem preserved from prior centuries. May the Spirit of God use them to lift your heart in fervent praise and worship of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.

"We want the beautiful art of music to be properly used to serve her dear Creator and His Christians. He is thereby praised and honored, and we are made better and stronger in faith when His holy Word is impressed on our hearts by sweet music. God the Father with Son and Holy Spirit granr us this. Amen."-Martin Luthn- {1483-1546)

I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy foithfoln~ss to all gmerations (Psalm 89:1).
