Let us take a brief look at what the Bible teaches about music and singing. Who, accord¬ ing to the Bible, has been called on to sing? It is plainly stated, “the earth, kingdoms, and nations of the earth and everything that has breath.” We also find the answer to the question, “What shall we sing?” We shall sing of His Mercies, His Power, His Love and the Honour of His Name. We shall sing praises to Him, our Lord and Saviour. When shall we sing? Merely when we are happy? No, the Bible has something else to say about it. In the night, in our dark hours we shall raise our voices unto Him. Even “upon our bed,” we are called upon to sing and at the remembrance of His Holiness. In other words, we are to sing at all times. How shall we sing? We find the Bible men¬ tions many instruments, such as timbrel, harp, cornet, trumpet, cymbal, stringed instruments, and the organ. All these shall be used in the performance of the “New Song.” We shall sing it with joy. —Mrs. Justina Wiebe. The music that can deepest reach, And cure all ill, is cordial speech. The song that speaks of Christ’s love both soothes and lifts up. It is just possible that at times a song is as good as a prayer. Indeed, a song of the pure kind recognized in the Scrip¬ ture, is akin to a petition, which it is also in the spirit of thanksgiving. The “sweet singer of Israel” (2. Sam. 23:1) wedded his sincerest prayers to melody and wafted them upward on the night air from his throbbing heart. In the soul that has been touched and made tender by the finger of pain, music finds a place where it may murmur its sweetest chords. —Elizabeth Labun. Page 8
