A Selection Of Psalms And Hymns For Public Worship Compiled By Joseph Milner PDF Download

Excerpt from A Selection of Psalms and Hymns: For the Use of the Churches of Egloskerry and Tremaine When the heart, as well as the voice, is tuned to the glory of God, singing becomes the noblest part of his worship, and comes nearest to the glorious employment of Heaven itself; but it must be recorded with pain, that it is a part of our service which has fallen into woful decay. One reason of this is, that the end of singing has been forgotten. The true end is the glorifying of God, and the refreshment and rejoicing the heart of those engaged in it. But who are to glorify God? Who are to be refreshed and enlivened by this blessed part of God's service? Go into nine churches out of ten, and we should be forced so say, 'the choir in the singing-gallery.' But, surely, the real end of singing is that all should unite, as far as possible, in this work - that God may be glorified by all his people, and the hearts of all his worshippers cheered and refreshed.
